So my advice to you to become more innovative is: don't accept the status quo, defer your judgment and stop thinking. I am sure great innovative big ideas will pop up sooner or later. Is it that simple? Yes, it's that simple. Just, try it!
I think the best guys do this in the kindergarten, and I guess this is a good recipe to share and get many "likes" from your pals. But to do something for real,
That. Is. HARD.
Simply, because you do not live in a world with complete idiots around you, and you are not a superhero from your favorite movies. So, you can't overtake "all the others" by being bold only. You MUST be really smarter than them, and that is a long and hard way, and maybe not for you because you are not... "the" chosen even if you are one of the very best. And those who finally win (in the real world) are the ones who know and ACCEPT this fact AND keep pushing! Got it? Real numbers and probability.
I like a story (I don't know the origin) about a Chinese Microsoft(?) office with a tag saying something like: "If you are smarter than a million of us, then you are perhaps one of the 1500 guys we want to choose from" ;-)
Or listen to the guy who does not only talk about success, or "manage ideas", but like or not, achieved something.
