Making Ideas Happen: Overcoming the Obstacles Between Vision and Reality

<p class="null1">How the world's leading innovators push their ideas to fruition again and again</p> <p>Edison famously said that genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration. Ideas for new businesses, solutions to the world's problems, and artistic breakthroughs are common, but great execution is rare.</p> <p>According to Scott Belsky, the capacity to make ideas happen can be developed by anyone willing to develop their organizational habits and leadership capability. That's why he founded Behance, a company that helps creative people and teams across industries develop these skills.</p> <p>Belsky has spent six years studying the habits of creative people and teams that are especially productive-the ones who make their ideas happen time and time again. After interviewing hundreds of successful creatives, he has compiled their most powerful-and often counterintuitive-practices, such as:</p> <p>•Generate ideas in moderation and kill ideas liberally<br> •Prioritize through nagging<br> •Encourage fighting within your team</p> <p>While many of us obsess about discovering great new ideas, Belsky shows why it's better to develop the capacity to make ideas happen-a capacity that endures over time.</p>
