Innovation Theatre Doesn’t Just Kill Startups. It Kills Innovation Managers, Too

Interesting personal account on exec level burn out, mainly being due to the tension between innovation vs inertia. This is a case study on innovation management but I suspect any role or function where ‘change’ is the mission (i.e DEI) might find similar tensions. No obvious solutions here, but an understanding as to why ‘innovation theatre’ exists might help us eventually come up with one.
