Publisher's Synopsis
From out of the dust of failing organization or fresh out of the halls of academia, a new breed of leader is emerging to take the reins in our corporations, in our politics, and in our world. Do you have the skillset needed to propel YOU into the forefront of your world? Most thinking people agree that the world is in need of change. Ideas become the catalyst of that change, and change becomes the catalyst for innovation. Often misunderstood, the true purpose of innovation is centered on creating or enhancing value; with this misunderstanding of innovation, there is a lack of defined skills needed to develop it. While much study is focused on innovation, little has been written about an innovative leader's skillset. Dr. Darrell Parsons concisely articulate ten of the most important competencies which are imperative for today's innovative leader. When dealing with any organization emerging leaders can begin the process of innovative leadership development by working on the common core competencies identified in this book.
