My campaign is running to reform broken politics that have completely disconnected the voter from the government. Not only disconnected the voter from the government, but allowed the government to become entirely beholding to these monopolies. Whether it's in the tech sector, the banking sector, or the health insurance sector, an increasingly small group of concentrated entities have incredible influence over everything that happens in the lives of billions of us around the world. It's the natural progression of the economic cycle but, it also harkens back to Teddy Roosevelt in the end of the last Industrial Revolution. Then, we saw the consolidation with Carnegie and Rockefeller and others around railroads, oil, and banking. We are there once again, and the stranglehold on our government is real. It is abusing the people of this country and the people of Upstate New York. I've asked Steve Faktor to join us who is the CEO of IdeaFaktory, author, writer for Harvard Business Review, writer for Forbes, and formally the head of innovation and running innovation funds at a number of financial services firms including American Express and CitiGroup.

This is a repost of Steve Faktor's original viral article on Forbes. In a way, innovation is like sex: those talking about it most are probably doing it the least. Before founding IdeaFaktory, I've had the privilege (and collateral hair loss) of innovating at top Fortune 100 firms, where ‘talk' was unavoidable. So I decided to codify my lessons as The 4C's of InnovationTM. These are: context, creativity, capabilities, and most importantly, culture.  Any innovation worth doing demands cultural change. But who will lead that change? And who will reject it? Why does the same ra-ra event move some employees to tears, but lands like the Hindenburg with others? No need to hire an army of psychologists to electroshock your workforce for answers. Unlike fluffier lists of people to hire, I've profiled the nine kinds of people in your company now  who will make or break any innovation or change initiative.  (For more on culture change, also check out my new podcast with this week's guest Stan Slap.) 9 Corporate Personality Types A few years ago, I had a TV show idea based on the quirky characters I met while leading corporate innovation.  (Think Alice in Wonderland with Armani suits and backstabbing.) As I discussed my characters with others, I discovered that some were universal "types".  So I developed these nine personas to 1) have a little fun and 2) help me manage the culture component of my innovation projects. BAMBI Almost every new recruit (and many new hires) start out bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. They are fresh hard drives ready to be filled with data. You can get them to do almost anything. They walk into meetings armed with fresh slides, broad smiles, and a professionalism they've practiced in interviews, in school, and in the mirror. They can gleefully present for hours to anyone in the company. They can deliver news about layoffs, quotas or dire forecasts without a hint of irony or empathy. They are eager to please and crave learning, mentorship and new opportunities.   BELIEVER Believer is a broad category that continues to branch. Generally, believers carry the torch for the brand and rally others. They'll proudly wear company- branded polo's and have cubes/ offices adorned with trophies, knickknacks, and photos of company picnics. They'll talk your ear off about new specs on the Widgetizer 5000.   ALPHA Alphas are the Delta Force of the Believers. They'll eventually run business units and ultimately, the company. Alphas love crushing competition and playing the corporate game. Their identity, self-worth and status are linked to their corporate conquests. They value tutelage and access to people they respect. Top Alphas can even create reality distortion fields where their truth becomes the truth. That can be intoxicating to employees and others. But they can also be abrupt, egotistical, or have a "you're either with me or you're the janitor" attitude. Look elsewhere for second chances or a shoulder to cry on.   SURVIVOR Survivors make it to senior positions, but don't quite have the horsepower of Alphas or Naturals. They know how to work the system. Survivors don't like taking risks and don't want to change the world, unless it's a sure thing. Some are master manipulators. Others miraculously survive every reorg. A few get inexplicable promotions after their last assignment flops. Their powers come from loyalty to Alphas, shared history, or knowing where the bodies are buried. Some get moved sideways forever – sometimes into good jobs that would be better served by others. If they ever leave, you'd get depressed knowing the size of their severance package. SOLDIER Soldiers are solid team players. They're not as well-rounded as Naturals or Alphas and seek out clarity. They avoid ambiguity (e.g. brainstorming) like it's a flaming rag at an Exxon station. They can be great at one thing like project management, analysis, process improvement or people development. When in the right roles, they shine,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pai7AoZubDs Today's episode is a tour de force (I believe that was French).  It's a companion piece to my article in Forbes, The 9 Corporate Personality Types and How to Inspire Them to Innovate.  I'm excited to welcome Stan Slap to the podcast.   Stan is the Chief Executive Officer of slap, the international consulting company renowned for achieving maximum commitment in manager, employee and customer cultures. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Bury My Heart at Conference Room B.  Listen in as we discuss what keeps companies from innovating and how to get emotional commitment from management in a way that won't make everyone cry or watch Dr. Phil.
