Why does every “innovation project” end up buried under approvals? I’m on a team trying to test a new workflow, and it’s been stuck in legal review for six weeks. I’m losing the spark I had for this idea. How do you stay motivated when your pace is faster than your company’s?

There have been times when I've scratched my head because something seemed to be help up for mysterious reasons. I can't say that it ever affected my motivation. Things happen that I'm not involved with, and my assignments change as priorities change. It's all just part of having a job. If I had my own company perhaps I'd be more concerned about things in which I'm not currently involved.

We all complain about how inefficient ways of working are and nothing ever changes. I think of all the cool things we could bring to the market if we could just move things along. I wish I had some advice but I struggle with what you’re feeling too. It’s hard to keep feeling innovative and creative when there’s layers of red tape everywhere you turn

I agree with the comment above. Nothing every changes. And it is even harder when you have a leadership team that is resistant to change.
