Five common characteristics of the best innovation leaders

From an article in one of last month’s IET journals (which I have only just got round to reading)…

According to BCG:

  1. The ability to tolerate ambiguity
  2. The ability to assess and be comfortable with risk
  3. The ability to balance passion and objectivity
  4. The ability to change
  5. The ability to command respect, even from sceptics

I feel a team meeting discussion on these coming on!

* the ability to downplay your own passion in front of sceptics
* the ability to tell a fad from a trend
* the ability to quietly persist with an idea when all about you don't get it
