Too few CEOs & leadership teams really understand innovation -> their companies don’t do it right... Inno: NOT = R&D NOT = new tech (fashion) NOT = expensive (before scaling) NOT = 1-2 big risky bets NOT = always cannibalizing today’s $ Should I keep going?

Effective teams combine 2 traits: - Cognitive diversity (different perspectives, backgrounds, & thinking styles) - Psychological safety (people know they won't be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.) hbr.org/2018/04/the-tw…

At DBS, we have been working hard over the past ten years to create a special kind of company. Although we have much left to do, the hard work has yielded some results and it is pleasing to see our transformation effort documented in MIT Sloan Mgmt Review sloanreview.mit.edu/case-study/red…

People suffer from mental illness in every other country on earth; people play video games in virtually every other country on earth. The difference is the guns.

The 1st role of a leader of transformation is to create a “vivid picture of the future”. I’m continually surprised how many leaders of transformation tell me they are well into their journeys but then are unable to articulate what they are transforming to. #EatSIeepInnovate

Whilst sending execs on fancy study tours creates enthusiasm, the impact is often negated upon the return home by naysayers and corporate inertia caused by existing policies, practices and structures. Read how to unlock the energy of the whole company amazon.com/Eat-Sleep-Inno…

I often hear alpha type leaders tell me with pride that they intend to fire those that do not get on board with their plans for transformation. This is not an act of courage and decisiveness but rather a failure in leadership. paulcobban.com/2022/06/08/t-s…
