Encouraging Innovation Through
5 Key Conversations
Jocelyn Kung, MBA and Marianne Minor, MSW, LCSW
Assessment and Workshop, 1 hour
Turn small talk into the company’s
next best idea.
Innovation leaders are not necessarily technical
experts, nor are they inherently creative. Rather,
they have the necessary skills to encourage
innovation in others. By engaging employees in
conversations that explore possibilities beyond
conventional thinking, managers can motivate
others to stretch their creative abilities, invite
risk-taking, and collaborate on the best ways to
navigate through organizational boundaries.
Encouraging Innovation Through 5 Key
Conversations may be used to establish a
new approach to building innovation in an
organization, provide basic skills training
in developing creativity and innovation in
individuals and teams, or to complement existing
leadership development techniques being used
in an organization.
