In this paper, I am writing about my previous workplace where I found a number of problems could be solved with the help of innovation. I found that the distribution of power in that organization was unequal and that was a hindrance to rest of the employees at the time of showing their innovativeness and creativity. I do not want to take the name of the organization because I believe it will form a wrong impression of that company. In addition to the unequal distribution of power, there was a mentality among the senior workers to stick to the traditional point of views.
