I agree with this in theory and try to practice it… but… if you are paddling upstream and everyone is cruising downstream and believe you are going the wrong direction. And you’re passionate that they should change direction and paddle upstream too… it gets to what I have heard called ‘vigorous fellowship’. I call it pain. Others paddling upstream call it pain too.

Disney is an extremely good media company so it doesn’t surprise me Zoradi is a good communicator. But it’s not innovative. Try Pixar for that. Microsoft is probably the most used OS on the planet [no, I use a mac] but it’s no longer innovative. Try Google for that.
