Leadership Tip of the Month: To Drive Innovation, Lead by Example
Employees' fear of failure is one of the biggest inhibitors of innovation. It prevents collaboration and appropriate risk-taking. As a leader, it's your job to eliminate this roadblock by:
- Encouraging employees to work together and learn from their mistakes.
- Making yourself accessible. Being available promotes creativity and idea sharing.
- Being a role model of cross-organizational work. Openly collaborate with and constructively challenge other company executives.
- Strategically disrupting your business. Rotate staff among roles to promote cross-pollination of ideas and talent.
