Innovative Ingenuity

Innovation is the final aspect of the heart of a leader. We are reviewing the five aspects of the heart of a leader as defined by Ron Edmondson. I really thought the five aspects he defined were definitely true to having the heart of a leader. Today we are on the last aspect and that is innovation.

Five Aspects of the Heart of a Leader

Are you an innovative leader? Do you find ways to do things that others hadn't thought of. Are you an outside the box thinker looking for ways to make your leadership better.

Innovation is key to great leadership because it shows you have vision to see things others don't. To be innovative though you can't just have the vision you have to be able to implement your innovation. You need to make sure you have a plan in place to make sure your innovation is completed and finalized.

What have you been innovative with? Have you come up with a new idea, process or product? Apple seems to be the innovative kings when it comes to technology, Microsoft not withstanding. Do you have Apple innovation or normal innovation? It doesn't really matter as long as you are using your innovation to further your company or yourself. Don't forget that you can also use your innovation to empower your people to be the best that they can be.

Be ingenious with your innovation and you will have another valve in the heart of a leader.
