As discussed in the latest episode of The Strategy Gap Podcast, startups thrive on agility and risk-taking, while large corporations often find it challenging to innovate due to misaligned incentives and the pressure of quarterly earnings. Startups empower their teams to wear multiple hats and take bold steps, but within larger organizations, promoting new ideas can be daunting. Corporates need to foster an entrepreneurial spirit to let fresh ideas flourish.
