Synopsis
Why can some organizations innovate time and again, while most cannot? You might think the key to innovation is attracting exceptional creative talent. Or making the right investments. Or breaking down organizational silos. All of these things may help--but there's only one way to ensure sustained innovation: you need to lead it--and with a special kind of leadership. Collective Genius shows you how. Preeminent leadership scholar Linda Hill, along with former Pixar tech wizard Greg Brandeau, MIT researcher Emily Truelove, and Being the Boss coauthor Kent Lineback, found among leaders a widely shared, and mistaken, assumption: that a "good" leader in all other respects would also be an effective leader of innovation. The truth is, leading innovation takes a distinctive kind of leadership, one that unleashes and harnesses the "collective genius" of the people in the organization. Using vivid stories of individual leaders at companies like Volkswagen, Google, eBay, and Pfizer, as well as nonprofits and international government agencies, the authors show how successful leaders of innovation don't create a vision and try to make innovation happen themselves. Rather, they create and sustain a culture where innovation is allowed to happen again and again--an environment where people are both willing and able to do the hard work that innovative problem solving requires. Collective Genius will not only inspire you; it will give you the concrete, practical guidance you need to build innovation into the fabric of your business., Named one of "10 Management Classics for 2022" by Thinkers50 Why can some organizations innovate time and again, while most cannot?

How can some companies innovate again and again--continuously producing products and services that customers want--while most other firms cannot? How do you unleash consistent creativity in those around you? In this important new book, a team of preeminent thinkers reveal what they say is the inextricable yet significant link between leadership and innovation.

    How cute! I love them! The shorts are described accurately, the right size, etc.! They were a wonderful value for me as the shipping cost was reasonable. The packaging was reasonable as it’s nothing fragile. Yes, I’d buy from the user again and recommend the Company or whatever to others. I’m VERY SATISFIED. Five Stars!
