Start Innovation with Yourself
To
lead innovation successfully you
should start with yourself. Lead
by example. If you ask your
people to be entrepreneurial, to
innovate and grow, do so
yourself.
|
|
 |
| |
|
Leading innovation requires a
visionary purpose and goals.
|
|
|
 |
|
Make
sure you keep stretch in your vision,
communicate it constantly, and keep linking the
events of today to your vision, underscoring the
relationship between the two.
Synergize leadership and management roles. |

Leadership with a Growth Mindset
Cultivating a mindset geared
toward continuous growth is what
enables an organization and its
employees to achieve their
goals.
A
spirit of constant growth
fosters the influx of new ideas
and provides fresh momentum to
the company.
|
|
|
| |
The task
of an innovation leaders is to provide
strategic alignment, formulate
guiding principles, establish a
creative chaos environment, use the
loose-tight leadership style, lead
entrepreneurial simulation games like
InnoBall, and allow freedom to fail.
|
|
 |
| |
|
A growth mindset creates an
environment in which senior
leaders set the direction for
development, devise strategy,
secure the necessary resources,
build the organizational
structure, and establish
conditions for learning.
A
growth attitude must
originate from leadership and
permeate every level of the
organization.

Visionary, Forward-Looking
Purpose and Goals
Leading the innovation process
requires forward-looking goals
and objectives. Your vision
should be ambitious – setting
the bar high – and you must
communicate it consistently,
linking current events to this
vision and highlighting the
connections between them.
The constant tension between
today's reality, anticipated
tomorrow's challenges, and
the established goals is what
drives the creation of
remarkable innovations.
Emphasizing the significance of
ongoing work helps employees
stay focused, while connecting
that work to the broader vision
and
anticipated challenges
sustains their motivation. Such
communication must be
continuous, as every encounter
an individual has with the
company’s vision reveals a new
facet of this connection.

|
|
 |
|
At the organization level, the hierarchy of innovation helps
leaders design,
align and synergize strategies,
climate,
drivers,
systems, structures,
functions,
innomanagement, processes and efforts
throughout different levels, from top management to operational
teams to foster creative achievements. |
