Innovative Leadership Follows Innovation Strategy Models By: Bill Thomas Innovative leadership formulates, hunts for and yearns for a way to imagine or draw the organization's innovation strategy. In more ways than this one inherent example, cutting-edge's leaders match their conventional counterparts. If they can model or otherwise map their innovation strategy, they can better mess around with it, put it to the test, stretch its limits and advertise it to others. "Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays." - Soren Kierkegaard Described another way, strategy is not what changes, it is we who use the strategy to sanction, mobilize, enlighten, engage, extend and empower ourselves to fulfill its ends. The sole purposes for modeling your innovation strategy are to focus you on, guide you into and display the unvarnished yet measurable details of your strategic reasons. Every innovation strategy must give innovative leaders the means to meet three crucial tasks: 1) Direct all activities 2) Develop all resources 3) Discipline all players When the innovative leadership team crafts their model of an innovation strategy, it should include: => A window on historical, internal and external realities; => Mechanisms to control and adjust to changes => Applications of spirit to inspire, relieve and educate; => Metrics which expose exchanges, dependencies and transfers; => Communications of beliefs, meanings and feelings; => Relationships between the observed, measured and assumed; => Opportunity "areas" where the strategy can be accomplished. "Cast aside those who liken godliness to whimsy and who try to combine their greed for wealth with their desire for a happy afterlife." - Kahlil Gibran Too many managers broadcast they have a strategy: "Increase shareholder value!" Unfortunately, their strategies are neither inspiring nor seriously implemented. In this Age where imagination is the primary driver of competitive advantage, your innovation strategy is only your path towards sustainable success. Innovative leadership performs well only when a model for their innovation strategy is formulated - in a word, innovative excellence is achieved fritter away a model for success.
