“William Coyne headed research and development at 3M鈥攖he company behind Ace bandages, Post-it notes, Scotch tape, and other inventions鈥攆or over a decade. Shortly after retiring, Coyne spoke to a group of hundreds of executives about innovation at 3M and his own management style. He said he鈥檇 started at 3M as a researcher and learned firsthand how well-meaning but nosy executives who proffer too many questions and suggestions can undermine creative work. So when he became head of R&D, he was determined to allow his teams to work for long stretches, unfettered by intrusions from higher-ups. Coyne understood his colleagues鈥� curiosity; if successful, an R&D project could generate millions in new revenue. But he limited their interference (and his own) because, he said, 鈥淎fter you plant a seed in the ground, you don鈥檛 dig it up every week to see how it is doing.”
