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.
