Pursuing creative agility means experimenting and testing many ideas.
Week 17: Pursue a wealth of ideas with creative agility
Traditional leadership:
Traditionally, “new” ideas are moved quickly to iteration and implementation following pilot programs.
A fresh approach:
New-era leaders need to experiment and test many ideas before proceeding, keeping multiple options open for as long as possible.
Bring it to life:
-
-
- Routinely encourage employees to try new ways of doing things.
- Support “both/and” thinking over “either/or” thinking.
- Encourage a continuous learning environment where everyday operations and decisions are opportunities for new thinking and input.
- Create the space for integration by keeping things simple, flexible, and open.
- Encourage employees to take calculated risks.
