What Does it Take to Think Like an Innovator?

Innovation is no longer a nice-to-have skill!  It is a necessity for today’s business leaders and managers.  Innovation must become a part of everyday operations for a business of any size to survive.  Those businesses that are not innovating and doing something new will find that they lag their market and this will lead to organizational decline.  If innovation is so critical, how can managers develop this skill?  What exactly does it take to think like an innovator?

In the following video from Harvard Business Review, Jeff Dyer, the co-author of  The Innovator’s DNA, addresses these questions.

As you listen to this video, watch for Jeff’s explanation of the following:

  • The 4 critical behaviors that trigger a manager’s ability to innovate;
  • Strategies to improve innovation skills; and
  • Methods a manager can use to foster a work environment of innovation.
