Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Innovate Like Edison
Michael J. Gelb · 2008
66/100
👎 Skip It
Gelb and Caldicott turn three years of Edison research into a structured system of habits and practices, which is a smart angle, but the five-competency/twenty-five-practice scaffolding can feel more like a corporate training binder than an inspiring read. Worth a look if frameworks motivate you more than stories do.
