Are you building an organization that innovates?

Are you building an organization that innovates? The June issue of Harvard Business Review includes a provocative article by the authors of a new book, Collective Genius: the Art and Practice of Leading Innovation. In a clear-eyed discussion of what makes some organizations capable of consistent innovation and others unable to move beyond status quo, the authors Hill, Brandeau, Truelove, and Lineback, outline important differences in leadership approaches between organizations that create and those that don’t. What they end up describing in many ways matches our own definition of transformational leadership.
