Does a leader have to be an innovator?
Poll:

Maybe
Let’s start with a question… does a leader have to be an innovator?Let’s see your answers..
Copyright © 2014 Sonoma Leadership Systems, all rights reserved www.SonomaLeadership.comCopyright © 2014 Sonoma Leadership Systems, all rights reserved www.SonomaLeadership.com
We say no. Saying a leader has to be an innovator is like saying that a gardener has to be a tomato. It’s just not true.

The leader doesn’t need to be the innovator.

By exhibiting the best practices of leadership that have been identified and validated through research.And what do Leaders do when they are at their best?
Three decades ago, The Leadership Challenge authors Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner set out to answer that very question through research. More specifically, their research asked: “What do people DO when they’re performing at their leadership best?”

MTW

Model the Way
This practice demands that leaders ask and understand “What do I stand for? What do we stand for?”As we can see, “People are watching”... So leaders must be intentional about the messages they send.

ISV

What?!? Do I have to come up with all the ideas???!!!
Leaders often get frustrated because they think they have to come up with all the ideas.As we’ve already discussed, this isn’t true.

Tom Brown, Ideo
“The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap from the minds of geniuses. In reality, most innovations are borne from rigor, discipline and collaboration."
Tim Brown is a founder of IDEO, one of the world’s most innovative design firms. He says:

Innovation Quiz
Velcro: Burrs stuck to a pair pants
Take a look at the story of “Velcro”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velcro
There are a couple of key points about George de Mestral’s innovation:
1) He used Outsight. He looked at the world around him to see what others didn’t see. 2) In alignment with Tim Brown’s comments – he used rigor (years of experimentation), discipline (his ability with a microscope), and collaboration (with weavers in the village)
Just consider:How many people saw this without thinking (burrs on pants.)How many people thought about this without doing the work?How many people did the work without collaborating?
There’s a reason why innovation is so rare.

What Leadership Behaviors Encourage an “Innovation Mindset”?

“Sets a Personal Example”
First, under Model the Way: An effective leader “Sets a personal example of what he/she expects of others”

Un‐Modeling the way
Too many of us have seen this approach…

First…• Announce that innovation is
critical in a big meeting with sexy videos.
• Include pictures of Einstein, Edison, and the Wright brothers.

Mistakes vs. Mis‐takes
• Deviation from a best‐known method.
• Mistakes = Waste• Apple Maps
• Discovery of a best‐known method.
• Mis‐takes = Learning
• Google MapsWhat do I mean by mis‐takes?A mistake is a Deviation from a best‐known method. In this case, mistakes = Waste.A mis‐take is the Discovery of a best‐known method. In this case, Mis‐takes = Learning.Let’s look at Google and Apple
Copyright © 2014 Sonoma Leadership Systems, all rights reserved www.SonomaLeadership.com
Apple Maps:
Apple has created an environment where users expect perfection ‘out of the gate’. Apple Maps, upon release, was probably better than Google Maps was upon it’s release, but that didn’t meet the expectations of the customers. There was a lot of confusion, criticism, and grief about Apple Maps. (above, a park where a train station should have been.)
If your employees believe you expect perfection, they will not be likely to collaborate and make mis‐takes.That’s an environment that discourages innovation.
Copyright © 2014 Sonoma Leadership Systems, all rights reserved www.SonomaLeadership.com
Google Maps:
Google, on the other hand, has a co‐development culture with it’s customers. This creates an environment where ‘bugs’ are identified by users and fixed quickly. Customers don’t mind this; they feel like contributors and collaborators.
One culture isn’t better than the other. And surely Apple’s internal culture is more collaborative than their external culture – but I hope you can see how one experience can affect the willingness to experiment and innovate.
