There’s agile marketing, introduced by thought leaders at CMG. Or, think about innovation. Everyone knows innovation is important. But again, if you can innovate successfully, is that enough?

Guest post from Matt Tenney There is much debate over the question of whether innovative people are born as innovators, or if innovation is something that is trainable. Although many people use the words creative and innovative as synonyms, the two are actually quite distinct. A well-known example of this is Bill Gates.

Only 53% of financial employees rate their firm’s ability to innovate: at top-performing companies, this figure is 70%. If one thing stifles innovation, it’s closed minds.

Before they even get started down the path of innovation, they decide coming up with fresh ideas and/or securing funding isn’t in their wheelhouse. As much as they want to take the leap on the inside, many leaders resist because their definition of entrepreneur is just too narrow. Bring what you’re stellar at to every party!

But a problem that’s becoming ever more visible is that some organisations have made authenticity their marketing strategy, rather than a business one. This isn’t a marketing issue, this is a business-wide issue, involving every facet of the organisation. Because business has to be about more than just profit.

There is a new definition of leadership in our lexicon. Let’s say you have the choice to make between choosing one person for a senior leadership role over another. Perhaps it’s because we still cling to the great man theory of leadership. Leadership is founded in a relationship between the leader, and those being led.
