So, long story short...
While matt smith was in college
matt smith made the mistake of
giving my best ideas to organizations that suck
My Advice to You is
do it yourself, take all the credit

Yea I remember always having to sign a contract saying that whatever I worked on at work was owned by the company. 99% of the time a company won't go through with that rule, but there's always that 1%.
I also have been guilty of dropping big idea bombs on unworthy organizations. I later found that a need for acceptance from my peers at work and need for career advancement left me vulnerable to SELLING OUT.
In the end, don't do it if your organization is not a career for YOU. I am leaving my company and going to a new one where my ideas are welcome and my energized attitude is appreciated. Being a Maverick can be trying if you beat your head agaist the same wall of confusion (my current corpaorate job) all the time.
Good luck.
