CEOs can inspire teams to experiment, or create pressure to (merely) appear innovative.
Innovation thrives when teams understand the direction, feel safe to test, and learn quickly from what does not work. High-impact leaders capture imagination, create clarity and courage, and enable teams to pursue meaningful possibilities—building leadership leverage for innovation across the organisation.
Am I inspiring my teams to innovate—or merely appear innovative?
100% agree and this has been always my take on inspiring and engagement.
