Next Gen Innovation. When Everything Depends on Ingenuity,
About the courage to move
“Stop managing and start leading”, says Bill Anderson. Managers command and control. Leaders set a vision and architect a system that helps people realize their full potential.
Politician Tom Tugendhat emphasises that leadership is built on trust, not command, and direction-setting rather than compliance, allowing innovation to emerge from proximity: the closer to client or voter, the better.
Don’t insist on prior proof of a promising initiative, warns Roger L. Martin – overanalysis is an all-too-common management mistake. The only answer is experimentation to test what cannot yet be guaranteed to work.
Rita McGrath insists top management stop treating innovation as an episodic project, encouraging ingenuity to flourish in “permissionless spaces“. Innovation becomes a solution in crisis not by optimizing old systems, but by replacing them through dematerialization and new forms of value creation.
George Q. Daley adds a cautionary note about AI, warning that it may breed cognitive atrophy unless managers insist on critical thinking and intellectual engagement. Look to young people to drive innovation as the most eager adopters of new technologies.
Linda A. Hill offers a broader leadership frame: next-generation leaders should act more like explorers than visionaries, helping organizations navigate the intellectual and emotional challenges of co-creating a future with more unknowns than knowns.
For Howard Yu, leaders should stop perfecting what already works and start collecting future capabilities. Today’s profits should fund tomorrow’s next rung; failure treated as free research rather than something to hide.
Josée Touchette says that Innovation matters most when it helps institutions become simpler, faster, more transparent, and more capable of delivering for citizens.
