The Greenhouse Approach: Flourishing Organizations Through Intrapreneurship

The Greenhouse Approach, a new book by Chitra Anand, examines the psychology of businesses and challenges current ways of thinking that inhibit true innovation. Anand argues that the biggest opportunity and challenge that large, complex organizations face is properly utilizing internal good ideas, and her book offers a new approach to cultivating intrapreneurship. Anand also highlights the importance of talent acquisition and flexibility in modern organizations, and the need for organizations to create an environment conducive to creativity, risk-taking, and testing. Leaders must shift their thinking towards first-principles thinking, which involves questioning assumptions and fact-checking. This mindset shift must occur at the leadership level of organizations to create the necessary groundswell for innovation to thrive.
