Innovation Leadership Transforms Crisis Into Opportunity

Truly innovative leadership moves beyond buzzwords and takes bold actions to push toward reinvention.

Innovate or die — everyone says it, but few organizations really know how to make innovation happen.

Organizational innovation is currently one of the top trends affecting business and leadership, and executives cite creativity as the #1 leadership skill needed for dealing with an increasingly complex future.

But despite the consensus around the importance of organizational innovation, it continues to be an area in which leaders and organizations struggle. Given that leaders and organizations seem to care a great deal about being innovative, what’s holding them back? Why aren’t companies as innovative as they want to be?

Some leaders believe all they have to do is hire creative people and innovation will just happen.

Other leaders believe innovation is all about organizational processes — that all employees will prove to be equally innovative under the right circumstances and with the right organizational (and compensation) structures encouraging them.

But the most creative person in the world is unlikely to innovate effectively in an organizational culture that doesn’t support innovation. And even the most innovation-supportive organizations won’t reach their innovation potential without creative people in place to do the work.

Upskill Your Team With Innovation Leadership Skills

Ensure Your Organization’s Continued Success With Innovative Leadership

To create a culture of innovation and creativity, your organization must develop these 3 key factors:

Management practices that support creating a culture of innovation, such as allowing freedom and autonomy in the practice of work.
Organizational motivation and encouragement of innovation, which requires collaboration and communication across silos as well as mechanisms for developing new ideas.
Resources to support an innovative culture, balancing the tension between managing the day-to-day and driving for improvement.
