To escape the curse of commoditization, a company has to be a game-changer, and that requires employees who are proactive, inventive and zealous.

To create an organization that's adaptable and innovative, people need the freedom to challenge precedent, to 'waste' time, to go outside of channels, to experiment, to take risks and to follow their passions.
