According to management guru Peter Drucker, the answer to the foregoing question lies somewhere in the middle.
Nonetheless, he had added this brilliant observation or insight:
"But when all is said & done, what innovation requires is hard work: focused, purposeful work. If diligence, persistence & commitment are lacking, talent, ingenuity & knowledge are of no avail."
In a nut shell, successful innovation does require inspiration. But that's barely half of the equation. It also requires discipline: rigorous, systematic way to bring good ideas to profitable fruition.
Of course, balancing the inspiration/hardwork equation isn't going to be easy.
