Found this great Ted Talks video by Simon Sinek about how innovative leadership works and the processes involved in bringing new ideas to fruition.

The reason I'm posting the link here is because at approximately minute 11:00 in the video, Simon draws a graph showing how new products reach market penetration/dominance.
The whole 18 minute video is worth watching, but the graph on product/idea adoption really jumped out at me in the context of Ubuntu/Linux operating systems.
The gist of it is that approximately 2.5% of the population innovates, the next 13.5% are early adopters, followed by an early majority at 34%, then 34% late majority, then the laggers who only adopt when there's no other choice.
