I wrote an article titled Diagnosing an Allergy to Innovation. This podcast is based on that article. Ultimately what I wanted was to help leaders begin to think about whether they were getting in the way of improvement, innovation and ingenuity in their organizations. I wanted to get leaders thinking about the role they play in creating and keeping ruts in the organization. Inertia and stagnation don’t happen accidentally. They creep in when leaders have an allergy to innovation. (The article is in the library at smiklespeaks.com...get a copy!)
