Innovation – The Round Peg In A Square Hole

 

You might have noticed the image on the cover of the book.  It is the proverbial “round peg in a square hole.”

 

Problem

Several years ago, when I was explaining to someone about not being a very good employee since I always argued, never followed the rules, and saw things completely different than all the other employees, he jokingly said to me ‘You fit in like a round peg in a square hole!”

Solution

I thought about his comment of “not fitting in” and the metaphor he used and one day, I came up with this.  The original was made out of wood, I then had them cast in Lucite.

A “round peg does fit in a square hole!”
