You read the title right.  After reading a post about Martial Arts of The Mind, I was inspired to take the next step.  The more I think about it the more I realize it’s true, ninjas would make great innovators and a lot of great innovators probably have what it takes to be a ninja.  See if you can follow along with my train of thought on this one.

Stealth – Ninjas are known for there ability to remain unnoticed and then strike when the time is right before anyone knows they’re there.  Innovators are known for their ability to find a solution or idea right when it is truly needed or even before people know they need it.

Speed – Ninjas are fast and they can react to anything without any hesitation.  Innovators are mentally the same way.  Ideas are constantly flowing and they are flexible enough to adjust and react as needed.

Martial Arts – Ninjas understand the power of existing forces.  Most martial arts were created as a way to do the most work/damage by using less effort.  Innovators use existing forces and ideas to build off of as well. An idea in motion stays in motion unless it has no place to go… or something like that.

Share your thoughts and random ideas with me on Facebook and Twitter.  I’d love to hear what you have to say.
