How to cultivate innovation through Relational Leadership
Speaker: Nigel Smith
Description
As we live and work in a vulnerable, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world, the one thing organizations desperately need and want our employees who are engaged, empowered and energized. Instead, and unfortunately, many employees are disengaged, dis-empowered and de-motivated. This leaves us with a desert like a vacuum of untapped innovative capital, lying dormant in employee's minds as they plod along day after day doing the same thing, in the same way, potentially wasting the cheapest and best form of a company's competitive advantage - its people and their creative capacity. Consequently, it's also our people who are the biggest cost to the company, so surely this is the greatest opportunity with the highest return on investment.
How do we rectify this? The operative word is 'cultivate.' The answer lies in the relational and integrative proximity of the leaders. Leaders who are able to build close relationships with their employees, based on trust and relational integration, have a far greater opportunity for cultivating and growing innovative thinking, ideas, and successful implementation of new initiatives. Why, because employees are driven by a shared common purpose and purpose where they are intricately involved and invested together with their leaders, and not merely seen as being on an opposing end of a spectrum of structural hierarchy just having to perform a job. When leaders spend time cultivating, frequently visiting, watering and nurturing their seeds of potential, their employees with the flourish. And the benefits of whole groups of individuals thinking and working innovatively together with their leaders, and not only for their leaders, will produce amazing results.
What then is the level of trust between your leaders and employees? Is the relational proximity one of distance and enmity? Needless to say, employees will not feel motivated and purposed to release their untapped innovative potential in an environment where they perceive that their ideas and contributions are not valued, listened to, possibly even shunned, and especially where the credit for their idea is given to their leader.In this webinar, Nigel Smith, Director of the Performance Catalyst Corp., will discuss how the principles of Relational and Integrative Leadership can cultivate innovative thinking in any employee and organization.
