People are bad at looking at seeds and guessing what size tree will grow out of them. The way you__l get big ideas in, say, health care is by starting out with small ideas.

They do something really big that__ really bad, and they think, Well, we__l make it better, and then it never gets better_.Building Fast Companies for Growth, Inc. September 2013
