Collective Genius

Więcej o książce

Why can some organizations innovate repeatedly while most struggle? Many believe that attracting exceptional talent, making strategic investments, or breaking down silos are the keys to innovation. While these factors can help, the true secret lies in a specific type of leadership that fosters sustained innovation. Collective Genius reveals this essential leadership approach. Renowned scholar Linda Hill, along with Greg Brandeau, Emily Truelove, and Kent Lineback, identifies a common misconception among leaders: that a generally effective leader will also excel in leading innovation. In reality, innovation requires a unique leadership style that taps into the “collective genius” of the organization’s members. Through compelling stories from leaders at companies like Volkswagen, Google, eBay, and Pfizer, as well as various nonprofits and government agencies, the authors illustrate that successful innovation leaders do not merely impose their vision. Instead, they cultivate a culture that encourages ongoing innovation, creating an environment where individuals are empowered to engage in the challenging work of problem-solving. This book not only inspires but also provides practical guidance for embedding innovation into your organization’s core.
