Happy Friday People. What or who inspires you?

Game changers are not seen... they are felt.

TOTD: Three roles that leaders of creatively competitive organizations take on at different moments in the continuing cycles of innovation.
1. EXPLORER: - The explorer leads from the front not by issuing directions, but by asking strategically purposeful questions.
2. GARDNER: - Leads from behind. By nurturing new capabilities, providing spaces and tools that encourage creativity and collaboration, and protecting the tender shoots of innovation from the efficiency-led behaviors of the organizational core, the gardener releases the creative potential of the organization.
3. PLAYER-COACH: - The job of the player-coach is to anticipate obstacles that the team may not expect, to nudge and guide the cycles of experimentation required to bring ideas to life.

Always remember; nothing is sure to shut down the engine of innovation faster than leaders who behave as if creating and executing on new ideas is just another item on their efficiency oriented checklists.

Designs can help organizations be more creatively competitive. It starts with an Idea however.
