find ways to be hospitable to the unusual person. You don't get
innovation as a democratic process. You almost get it as an
anti-democratic process. Certainly you get it as an anthitetical

are really amenable to change and can deal with the conflicts that
arise out of change an innovation." Max DePree, chairman and CEO of
