"Pondering re-invention"

Thoughts on how to re-invent and revolutionize how you lead.

Step 5 in my last blog talked about engaging others as a form of collaborative leadership.

Now that you have opened the door for innovation, creativity, and the flow of ideas from all stakeholders, what you do with the information and the ideas can make all the difference. Your leadership legacy is at stake.

 Most managers are not leaders because they are unwilling to take innovative risks.  They don’t want to rock the boat.  You have a chance to improve the way things are done that will increase sales, profits and move you and your team to the edge of greatness because you listened to the ideas from your stakeholders and decided to move on them.

“You can’t manage without knowledge.  You can’t lead without imagination.” Tribes-We want you to lead us by Seth Godin

Action speaks.  Test the ideas. Do a small market test of an innovation that came from your creativity team.  Transfer the “power” to run the test to your trusted high performance team.  Give them a fixed time frame to run the test.  After you experience its success, expand it.  Take the results of your test and determine its viability as a new process for the entire company.  You will be surprised when others begin to see you as a “revolutionary leader”…

What ways can you being to revolutionize the way things are done?

How do you intend to stand out and be counted?
