Launching Innovations: The Do’s and Don’ts

Launching new initiatives is a significant challenge for innovation leaders and requires effective delegation, visibility, and accountability. A key step is to delegate to a team of A players and empower them to run fast and achieve success. Innovation leaders must be visible during the launch and are willing to pick up the broom and work alongside their team. Accountability is essential, and innovation leaders must measure results and reward people for their achievements. Micromanaging, taking credit, and blaming others for failure are common mistakes to avoid.
