Stop on Red Signal and The Big Mac

Driver parks on 'stop on red signal' - Wellington Airport

When we work to the status quo - we don't have to think a lot. We do as we're told and the job gets done - everyone is happy. There's little room for change, until someone does something like seek a cheeky place to park the car. On the 'stop on red signal' (please post culprits name or email address in comments below)

Jim Delligatti - one of Ray Crocs' earliest MacDonald's franchise holders didn't do what he was told. He experimented and invented a new burger - The Big Mac. He went one step further and put it on the menu.

Lucky for him the burger was a hit and was rolled out to the other restaurants in 1968. It's well known worldwide and often used as a symbol of American capitalism. The Economist has used it as a reference point to determine the cost of living in different countries — the Big Mac Index — since it is so widely available and is comparable across markets. This index is sometimes referred to as Burgernomics.

I'm not suggesting you run the next red light you see or eat burgers, but to be mindful that what you are asked or shown to do isn't always what is wanted from you. Sure, your boss wants you to do your job, but she also wants you to find something new, a better way of doing things, be a champion and bring change for the better even if she didn't ask you to. What could you do?
