The Rudolph Phenomenon: Unlocking Your Hidden Innovators
In every organization, there exists a unique group of thinkers that I've identified as "Rudolphs." These individuals possess a distinct ability to:
Think Beyond Boundaries: They see connections others miss and solve complex problems with innovative solutions.
Navigate Systems: Rudolphs understand how different parts of an organization interact and can optimize these interactions for greater impact.
Drive Meaningful Change: They are driven by a desire to create lasting, positive change within their organizations.
Rudolphs make up about 10% of any organization but often remain underutilized due to cultural or structural barriers.

Rudolphs are characterized by their:
Inquisitive Nature: They question norms and seek new insights.
