Chris Anderson's views on innovation

What are Chris Anderson's views on innovation?
  1. Do not hire for fit. Hire misfit. Look for connections between fit and misfit.
  2. Do not hire for deep knowledge, hire for broad knowledge.
  3. Innovation and value are going to be found in the synthesizers - the people who draw together stuff from multiple fields and use that to create an understanding of what the company should do.
  4. Businesses that don't offer meaning to their employees will not succeed in the long term.
