Listen "How the Best Leaders Drive Innovation"
Episode Synopsis
If you’re leading innovation, you need very specific leadership skills. Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill has studied leadership and innovation for decades and is the coauthor of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation. She says that leaders who shepherd innovation can’t rely on formal authority. Instead, they need to understand how to get people to co-create with them, which requires a different kind of leadership. As Hill says, “You cannot tell people to innovate. You can only invite them.”
