Today, more than ever, businesses need innovation. They will not survive simply by relying on the same processes, same thinking, same planning as before.
Innovation can be described as the “implementation of ideas” and starts with defining the problem, discovering alternatives, deciding on and implementing a solution.
So how can personality help or hinder this process?
We know that that there are no right or wrong personalities but all of us have preferences that influence the way we interact, think, make decisions and plan.
So when we manage and lead innovation, our preferences can influence how we approach the process and where we focus our attention.
So when you look at the fours descriptions in the table, which one best describes how you work when when you are dealing with innovation?
Understanding which profile best describes you can help you to understand why you find some parts of innovation easy and others hard work. It can also help you to identify others in your business who might enjoy other parts of the innovation process.
When you are managing innovation, how do your preferences differ from others and are you providing the right stimulus for others to be as innovative as possible and play to their strengths or could you be stifling them through your actions and preferences?
