Innovation. Paul McCartney. When I saw the article, "Paul McCartney's Innovative Style" by Peter Cook, I knew I had to read it.
Paul McCartney and John Lennon were an innovative song writing team. In this article, Peter analyzes Paul's and John's personalities using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator'(MBTI') personality inventory. Using this system, he says Paul would be classified as an adaptor and John an innovator.
As Peter puts it, "Often we need both innovators and adaptors to produce sustainable innovations: The innovators to produce the hard-to-copy ideas and; the adaptors to help bring the ideas into a practical market focus."
