Transformative Ideas

🤔 When have you had to push through a transformative idea that others have resisted?

😱 "Imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack - crushing Notre Dame, the Tour Saint-Jacques, the Louvre, the Dome of les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe under its barbaric bulk - all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream." 

✉️ The “Committee of 300” - a group of artists & poets - wrote this in an open letter to the city of Paris in 1889 demanding Gustave Eiffel’s project was stopped immediately.

😳 Some of the most revolutionary ideas can meet huge resistance. 

💯 They require leaders to have the fortitude to mobilise the right people and resources to find a way forward.
