Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

This is the second volume in the publisher's Wisdom to Action series. As in the previous volume, the editors gather a collection of articles written by well-respected businesspeople from around the world. The articles focus first on the heart of innovation--people, that is--and progress to discussions of the environment, leadership, and business practice. Adopting Peter F. Drucker's definition of change--that it "creates a new dimension of performance"--is offered as step one in innovation. Then various speakers chime in on theory ("assume people are creative," says Margaret Wheatley) and, more importantly, offer practical advice. Several CEOs (from Novartis, Schwab, and ServiceMaster, among others) explain the value of good works, how to create a culture supporting innovation, and the actual processes that encourage new drug discoveries. Much food for thought has been gathered between the covers of this provocative book. Barbara Jacobs

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovation from the Top Voices in the Field, Sep 25 2009
By B. Breen "Canuckster1127" (Sterling, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Leading for Innovation was the core text in a Master of Science course taken by this reviewer. Innovation is in many ways an intangible quality that resists strict scientific definition. There are no pure techniques that have been identified that will translate from organization to organization with predictably positive results.

However, there are certain characteristics that tend to create an environment more conducive to innovative results.

In moving in that direction the editors arrange in the book in 4 primary sections:

1. Leading the People Who Make Innovation Happen.
2. Creating an Environment that Encourages Innovation.
3. Changing How You Think About Leadership and Innovation.
4. The Practise of Innovation.

Every section presents several stand alone essays that come from very diverse backgrounds and yet tie into the primary theme for each section. Most present some insight or nuggets that can be gleaned and applicable in any organization.

Therein lies the value to this compendium. This is not a book attempting to provide "the" answer, but rather one that skirts the perimeter and makes several forays in from which the reader can take the information and tie it into their own particulat situation.

Overall, despite having been on the market for more than several years, this information is still current, relevant and will be helpful to most innovation leaders.

5 stars.

By V. Srinivasan "vpgm" (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent compilation on Leadership attributes for innovation and is a collection of well written articles which made me think and connect to a real world phenomenon. I enjoy reading Peter Drucker's books and the content of the book has Peter Drucker's flavor to it. The Clarity and style of this book is truly outstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, Feb 8 2002
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Some 23 experts on management from academia and the private sector share their ideas on how you can take that bloated bureaucracy and turn it into a nimble and innovative machine. The book offers no quick fixes, as illustrated by the authors' observation that innovation is a culture, and not an event. Of special interest is the included list of practices that squelch innovation. We [...] recommend this book, which was inspired by management science pioneer Peter F. Drucker, for executives and all devoted students of the management arts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great leadership writing
Most collected volumes have a few good essays and then you can take or leave the rest. But all of the essays in this book are more than worth the price of the whole book. Read more
