In order to foster a sense of business innovation across an organization, the leader needs to be creative oneself but also must induce such experimentation as a habit. The conventional regulated and compliance oriented work processes may not be able to unlock people’s hidden potential at innovation. Thus four key steps must be taken to ensure this does happen. First of all, the company must have a clear vision as to how it foresees itself and its branding. Here the leader plays the explorer’s role. He/she needs to play the gardener’s role when creating the proper work culture. This includes the sense of collaboration, empathy and networking. The leader turns into a player coach when he/she organizes specific management training programmes to ensure learning takes place from the experiments, smart risks or even failures. Finally there is technology, the appropriate bit and the right amount of which needs to be used up. With the right technology, employees can execute innovations to everyday activities.
