Jai at Sree’s Teck.in writes on Paul Buchheit,the creator of Gmail and Paul’s courage combined with innovation that won hands down over the company’s we-are-a-search-only-company attitude.
It is not normally appreciated as to how much courage it takes to create and stick on with new, paradigm changing, great stuff. Initial rejection from all except a few is almost a given. After all, people are being asked to change. Sometimes from a tried, tested and trusted way.
The creator should be able to distinguish legitimate concerns from the complaints that arise from the all too human resistance to change.
