Certain things will never change. The proportion of people doing out of the box things which take humanity forward will always be small. In the earlier days it was astronomy, science philosophy only today it encompasses people using tools and knowledge on the net sitting in the comfort of their homes too.

Have a look at the second video. It gives an example about open source projects. The kind of people I’m talking about are increasing in number. But still, they are a minority considering the six billion population. And this makes it even more of a job for managers to help them go beyond mechanical tasks, and put them in an environment that will boost their internal drive to do different things.

The kind you talk of are a minority – einstein said it too ‘imagination is more important than knowledge’. He also talks of an insignificant minority of humans being responsible for a significant majority of human progress. On a higher level of abstraction, your idea was described by einstein as human progress due to objective pursuits of art and science… also these people seek something beyond earning their daily bread. They also seek good company and intellectual stimulation
