Kindle Notes & Highlights
In today’s world, creativity is a collaborative endeavor. Innovation is a team effort.
The greatest innovations have not come from a lone inventor or from solving problems in a top-down, command-and-control style. Instead, the great successes—the creation of the computer, transistor, microchip, Internet—come from a “team of teams” working together in pursuit of a common goal.
the necessity of real-time innovation and problem-solving requires integrative and transparent leadership that empowers individual team members.
Organizations must be networked, not siloed, in order to succeed. Their goal must shift from efficiency to sustained organizational adaptability. This requires dramatic shifts in mental and organizational models, as well as sustained efforts on the part of leadership to create the environment for such a change.
The role of the leader becomes creating the broader environment instead of command-and-control micromanaging.
