JJ Resnick | Top tips for innovative leadership
Creativity
and transformation is a vital aspect of any business growth. Every leader or
manager seeks to build this culture in their organization but how? Here JJ Resnick has compiled some effective
tips on how to achieve this as a leader.
Vision for change:
Your team will only be innovative if they know the direction in which they are
headed. This innovation needs to have a purpose and it is up to the leadership
styles to set the course and have a bearing for the future.
Leadership development must define the
business direction and that people will easily understand and work towards it.
Good leadership qualities entail spending time trying to illustrate the vision,
the goals and the challenges that the business will go through.
Fight that fear of change and adoption
of new techniques:
Innovative
leadership needs to constantly emphasize the need for a change may be by
replacing the comfort of satisfaction with the desire for ambition. Provide a
future that shows an appealing future worth taking risks for. Consider the
policy 'trying new ventures are risky, standing still is riskier' as this will
enable your employees to venture into new, maybe riskier options.
The Dynamic Suggestions Scheme:
Wonderful
suggestion schemes are focused, easy to use, well-resourced, responsive and do
not need to offer huge rewards. Recognition and response are more important and
above all, they have to have the wholehearted commitment of the leaders to
keep them fresh, have proper labor management and successful leadership skills.
Break some basic rules:
JJ Resnick
says, for you to achieve a radical innovation, you have to challenge the
assumptions that govern the way things should look at your workplace. Have the
notion that businesses, unlike sports, do not have well-defined and static
rules and referees. It is more like an art and therefore common with
opportunity for a lateral thinker who can create new ways to provide goods and
services that are high on demand.
Give two jobs to everyone:
You
could as well assign all your employees two key objectives and ask them to run
their current jobs in the most effective way possible. Encourage your employees
to ask themselves these questions - what is the essential purpose of my role?
What outcome am I supposed to deliver and if that is of real value to my
clients? Is there a better way to deliver?
Collaborate:
Collaboration
is the key to lead with innovation and many managers know they cannot do it all
using internal resources. You, therefore, need to look outside for other
organizations to partner with.
Welcome Failure:
Encourage
a culture of experimentation where all your employees hold the belief that each
failure is a step along the road to success. For you to be truly responsive,
you must give people the freedom to innovate, experiment and the freedom to
succeed. This means that you must give them the freedom to fail as well.
According to JJ Resnick, starting a
business is a leap of faith even in the best of circumstances. As a small
business moves through the various stages of its life cycle, it requires
different support programs that are suited to its specific needs at that time.
