Leadership Innovation?
Individual creativity is made up of three things:
Thinking differently
Feeling differently
Focusing, or committing, differently.
You need to be willing to come up with new ideas, even unusual ones. To care about solving problems that other people might think are impossible or unimportant. And, the willpower to take action on your ideas, and see them through.
The power to be innovative is already inside you. Human beings are inherently creative creatures. Some people are more creative than others, and we’re all creative in different ways. And you can learn to be more creative and innovative.
Start collecting ideas. Get outside your comfort zone and try to find ideas that are unproven and new. Use new sources and collect ideas you might normally dismiss.
Take those ideas and transform them in a lot of different ways, such as reversing the assumption of an idea, or reversing its implementation. Make it prettier, uglier, longer, thinner, higher, or lower, etc.
Be willing to take an idea and change it to make it yours, or to fit your purpose.

Sharing leadership…
When we work for the common good, we experience each other in new ways. We don’t worry about differences, or status, or traditional power relationships. We worry about whether we’ll succeed in accomplishing what needs to be done. We focus on the work, not on each other. We learn what trust is.

Our words impact others.
Someone said, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” Every day, we are shaping reality for someone by the words that we use with them.
Wholesome words build people up.
Wholesome words are timely.
Wholesome words provide grace.

Primary force behind successful change?
Leadership is different from management, and the primary force behind successful change of any significance is the former, not the latter. Without sufficient leadership, the probability of mistakes increases greatly and the probability of success decreases accordingly. This is true no matter how the change is conceptualised—that is, in terms of new strategies, reengineering, acquisitions, restructuring, quality programs, cultural redesign, and so on. Because the rate of change is increasing, leadership is a growing part of managerial work. Far too many people in positions of power still fail to recognize or acknowledge this most important observation. What do you think?

One “keystone habit” to transform your life…
What makes you different from other people? What is it that keeps you from doing what you want to do in life? Underperforming? Not enough time? Stress? Fatigue or low energy? Not feeling up to the challenge? Procrastinating?
Did you know that certain good habits are so powerful that they work their way through your whole life, changing everything for the better? That’s the concept of a “keystone habit,” described by Charles Duhigg in his fascinating book, “The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business.”
The secret to a “keystone habit” is that you commit to one thing you will do as a top priority. To truly succeed at that one thing means that other things in your life have to line up in support of it. Therefore, focusing on that top priority has a ripple effect that changes everything. Certain habits lend themselves to this keystone effect-when you do them well they start to remake other patterns in your life… go out and do it today!

Idea development and innovation?
Idea development it’s all about trust. People collaborate by respecting and trusting each other. The reason we shake hands is to show each other that you don’t have any hidden weapons.
We look each other in the eye to ensure that we can work and perform together.
A spatial ecosystem where people and tools work together across the office landscape for sharing information, socializing ideas, and achieving results that drive growth and profitability.
