Our role is to translate this amazing research into tools and processes that are practical for you to implement. We test them, often in our own organization and with MBA students, before using with you. This approach helps you become more effective and often provides a strategic and competitive advantage.

“Leadership needs innovation the way innovation demands leadership, and by combining them you can improve your capacity to deliver results,” as explained in this book.

An innovative leader is defined as someone who consistently delivers results using the following:

• Strategic leadership that inspires individual goals and organizations vision and cultures;
• Tactical leadership that influences an individual’s actions and the organizations systems.
• Holistic Leadership that aligns all key dimensions:  Individual, culture, action and systems.

The fieldbook and workbooks are each divided into two sections, defining innovative leadership and providing a process, worksheets and reflection questions that support your journey in innovating how you lead.  The books skillfully weave the journeys of executive leaders, a nonprofit CEO, middle managers, and individual contributors on their paths of developing innovative leadership qualities and behaviors as well as implementing change in their organizations. These leaders encounter their own unique challenges, organizational cultures and outcomes which provide invaluable insight into developing innovative leaders.
