“I'm not innovative. I support innovation. There's not a product idea that I'll ever have that's going to amount to anything. But what I'll do is make sure that the right people are in the room and that the lunatic fringe has an opportunity to contribute.”

(Bill Campbell, Chairman of the Board of Intuit, in “Coaching innovation: An interview with Intuit's Bill Campbell,” by Lenny T Mendonca, Kevin D Sneader. The McKinsey Quarterly: 2007. ; p. 66)
