Recognizing Your Type of Innovation Leader

Recognizing Your Type of Innovation Leader

Innovation Governance, a book by Deschamps and Nelson, suggests that organizations are tribal and require a mechanism or strong personalities that can cut across barriers. The authors advise recognizing your innovation leaders and finding the balance between front-end and back-end leaders, since the two are complementary. A front-end leader seeks out radical creativity while a back-end leader is more focused on getting products to market. Recognizing the personality, background, and functional orientation of your innovation leaders can help you balance innovation clout, customize your innovation concept, and attract investment.
