It is possible to be taught the principles and concepts of innovation. Leading a creative, evolutionary, innovative organization is Don't Make The Greatest Mistake of Your Life Recently, I attended a webinar with nearly 400 other Chief
Learning Officers - during one polling period, we were
asked what primary driving force pushes organization-wide
or individual innovation - the majority agreed that
leadership is that force.The greatest mistake of your life you could too easily make would be to do...NOTHINGWhatever your circumstances, you probably wish for something else!!! Perhaps you want to be thinner, or taller or better looking. Perhaps what will make you happy is to be richer or have more time to spend with your family and loved ones. Some people believe that if had followed a different career or that they could rewrite their own history they would be better off.Some of these things you can do if you try and some of them are impossible to change; but the message is don't make the greatest mistake of your life by doing nothing.Action is the Indeed, those CLOs agreed innovation was the most important quality their organizations desire in teams, individuals and leaders. In today's fast-paced society, where images, ideas and ideals fly past through our minds at warp-speed, the only way to survive and succeed is to innovate as much and as often as possible. I don't mean that you innovate for innovation's sake, rather you must add value, improve quality and enhance competence in every one of your tasks, products and services and that work must be done in an highly innovative fashion. What strategies can leaders use to empower, propel and energize our innovative efforts? Strategy-1 - Empower the Quest! When we encounter inconsistencies, problems, difficulties, incongruities, dysfunction, mysteries or challenges, aren't those the times we notice that there are "gaps in our knowledge"? When gaps are found we naturally want to search for solutions, or ways to bridge or augment our knowledge. Leaders who aspire to leading others in authentic, committed, honorable ways strive to channel the power of open and forthright discussion and inquiry. In a word, leaders with integrity are not afraid to seek out and face the truth. Wise leaders realize that the truth contains its own energy supply - through the pursuit of truth, our perceptions take on keener insights, we see our situations from afar and we can see them more clearly. What is truth? We need to understand that our knowledge is insufficient [I like to call it, our "knowledge deficit"], and after acknowledging that, we must hunt for facts, ideas or theories to help us erase our knowledge-deficit. Strategy-2 - Propel the Momentum! When you begin the search for those 'deficit-filling' facts, ideas and theories, you will see, discover or uncover at least one or more of these patterns and phenomena: => the unexpected - are the results you got the results you expected? => the break in logic, assumption or rhythm - does there seem to be something that is illogical or that doesn't make sense under the circumstances? => the change in structure or paradigm behind the "problem" - is it possible that our industry, profession or technology has changed or has those things experienced a change in the way they are structured? Effective leaders "propel the momentum" of innovation by challenging assumptions, traditions and comfort levels. By aggressively testing the results of every activity for its contributions to productivity, resourcefulness and growth, leaders can keep the "ball" of innovative momentum rolling. Strategy-3 - Energize the Process! Asking the right questions guides leaders towards truth - honestly searching for and fearlessly facing truthful answers will lead you to successful ventures. Leaders can maximize their innovative opportunities by adding energy to their everyday work processes. You can build innovation into your tasks, relations and assessments by keeping your objectives clearly in mind. "Inspect what you expect" are great words to lead and manage by. Keep your goals, objectives, targets, milestones and expectations in front of the group all the time. By checking what you budgeted, planned and organized for against your actual outcomes, outputs and outpourings, you will identify problems and be better able to adjust or adapt your efforts before those challenges overwhelm your progress. By unveiling the truth of your objectives and hopes, you are walking on the path towards innovation - you will be ' on-the-right-track' to that place where you will: => Do your work with or on things in different ways, => Take more effective actions on the things that you work with or on, => Work with or on things with greater levels of efficiency. ----------------------------------------------------------- "You cannot solve a problem until you acknowledge that you have one and accept responsibility for solving it" - Zig Ziglar Leading others to think, work and contribute more innovatively means being skilled, trained and developed to exploit your energy sources, along with the practices and disciplines of innovation.

Leading a creative, evolutionary, innovative organization is The Perfect Fit: Women & Franchising - Empower the Quest!An interesting combination of factors at this time in history may be the reason so many women are turning to franchising to fulfill their entrepreneurial desires. Women’s increased financial power, better education, and corporate experience, combined with their desire for more autonomy and desire to connect with others who share their values make franchising a great fit for many women.Women are better educated now than ever. They have accumulated considerable corporate experience. After years in the corporate world they are tired of being locked into super-human schedules which often include brutal hours and travel obligations.

growth, leaders can keep the "ball" of innovative momentum
rolling.When I think about digital signage, I'm sometimes reminded of the perpetually hungry, ever-growing plant from the musical "Little Shop of Horrors." You might remember that unusual flora. It's the talking, singing Venus Flytrap on steroids that constantly demands "Feed Me!" I can't help but think of that giant man-eating plant, because its appetite for flesh was as large and insatiable as that of digital signage for content. Content is the currency of digital signage. Without it, digital signage would be about as appealing as looking at a dimly lit mirror. So, it's imperative that digital signage users source, create and schedule e Strategy-3 - Energize the Process!
