“A good life is not one that is free from struggle, but one in which people have the tools to overcome what life throws at them.” — Clay Christensen More recently, Clay has turned his focus to the domain of parenting where he’s predicting that we may see disruption. “I worry that we as parents have raised children who don’t have the courage to deal with difficult things. If we think about this through the patterns and processes that guide innovation, I don’t think sustaining innovations—that just improve our ability to outsource more and more work—will solve this problem. Instead, we need disruptive innovations that reprioritize tackling authentic projects at home, with both children and adults working together. This could build up a generation of young people equipped for the future.”
