		<title>Comment on Are You Disruptive? by Adam Hartung, Chicago, IL</title>

		<description>Thanks to Lisa for the nice mention.  What we now know is that companies which choose to be Disruptive have higher rates of return over longer time frames than those which remain comfortably pushing what they&#039;ve always done the way they&#039;ve always done it.  Disruption is actually better than &quot;going along&quot; even if it feels uncomfortable compared to social norms.

No organization can be disruptive if it doesn&#039;t allow (actually promote) disruptive contributions from employees, managers and leaders.  Only by contributing &quot;outside the lines&quot; can new opportunities be discovered in all aspects of business.  To consider, develop and implement new ideas requires an openness for allowing disruptions, and encouraging those around us to bring forward disruptions for discussion and insight.

		<description>I remember a popular quote from the 80&quot;s movie &quot;The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension&quot;: 

 &quot;Remember,no matter where you go, there you are.&quot;

A perfect approach to social media.  Be present to the audiences of each site or tool that you use (Twitter, Facebook,  Linked In, etc.).</description>

		<description>Steve,

Found your post thanks to your comment on my new post: What If There Was No Marketing? (http://bit.ly/bmmGUN) Sounds like we&#039;re thinking along the same lines. I guess we can&#039;t kill an entire industry but perhaps it&#039;s time for some reevaluation? Scary the ratio of advertising dollars versus research and development, and yet that pretty much sums it up, eh? I would love to see change, but ultimately I guess it&#039;s up to us - the individuals - to do our part to refine how we market as well as consume. If we don&#039;t respond to the supply, would it affect the assumed demand?

Great post - thanks for leading me here. :)</description>

		<description>@Lisa Thanks Lisa, I appreciate your kind words and I assure you I am not worthy... 

But you are right in that without &quot;today&#039;s&quot; world I could not have met smart, passionate people like yourself and many others...

I too hope we can meet someday in person..</description>
