Innovators are Venturesome

• Venturesomeness is almost an obsession with innovators. Their interest in new ideas leads them out of a local circle of peer networks and into more cosmopolite social relationships.

One also must be able to cope with a high degree of uncertainty. While they may not be respected, they play a gatekeeper role in the flow of new ideas into a system.
