Each year, the business magazineFast Companypublishes a list of the World's Most Innovative Companies. You can find the list for 2021 here: https://www.fastcompany.com/90603436/the-worlds-most-innovative-companies-2021 (link opens in a new window).Next, take a look at the Thinkers50 global ranking of management thinkers (published every two years, this is considered a guide to which thinkers and which ideas matter now) here: https://thinkers50.com/t50-ranking/list-2021/

Answer both of the following questions in your post:

1. Choose any organization on Fast Company's list EXCEPT for Netflix (we will talk about Netflix later in the course). Search online to find out what the company you selected has done in the last year to earn a spot on the list, and provide a summary for the class. What innovative product or practice has the organization adopted that sets them apart from their competition or predecessors?

2. Choose any individual from Thinkers50's list of "thinkers". What has that person done to make advances in the study of leadership?
