Starting 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. Be
creatively dissatisfied with the status quo,
have a rich sense of curiosity, question openly
the impact of not only actions of others but
also those of yourself to
inspire employees to learn from you and do
like wise.

Customer Focus
Love your customers, care about them and
live this principle daily in order to keep
creating innovative value for them. Build
cross-functional
innovation teams and let people in different
product groups and disciplines
synergize their inputs and contribute
jointly to the new market space.

I'm not a tech guy. I'm looking
at the technology with the eyes of my
customers, normal people's
eyes.

Leadership-Management Synergy
Managers provide structure and look after
details.
Leaders provide an inspiring big picture and
lead
improvisation.

The resulting
jazz-like innovation process creates and
delivers outstanding value to customers and
stakeholders. 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.
