A habit of innovation; Stay Current, creative , And Engaged.
Innovation matters, and true leadership requires innovation. Leadership is not management. Managing is creating expected results with constraints. Managers can be leaders, and leaders can be managers. A leader is a change agent. He or she changes the order of things and pushes for change. Leadership is not about title or position or a corner office or a big budget. Or power. Leaders imagine a different future and change the order of things, regardless of title or position. I realized this a few years ago when I began (predictably) making a list of all the basic components that comprise innovation. As I broke down this characteristic, I realized intentionality is made up of at least four elements namely courage, failure, stamina and spark. Innovation is the opposite of average. It is refusing to coast, rejecting the status quo, and having the courage to shake up the meaningless routines that lead to laziness. Innovation is the act of exploring new ideas, and every leader must develop this habit in his own life if he wants to become a change maker. Innovators are authentic voices, not just echo chambers. Too many organizations, conferences, leaders, and communities are just copycats of someone else. Be unique and stand out. To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often, said Winston Churchill. So be innovative today!
