While generally detrimental, there are rare instances where ignoring relevance can lead to unexpected success:
Disruptive Innovations: Occasionally, products or services that initially appear irrelevant can create new markets or significantly disrupt existing ones, as seen with the advent of the smartphone. Visionary Leadership: Visionary entrepreneurs sometimes foresee future trends that others might overlook, leading to breakthroughs that redefine industries.
However, these cases are exceptions rather than the norm. Most successful entrepreneurs strike a balance between visionary thinking and practical relevance.
