A climate of innovation

Managers and Leaders determine the organisational climate.

Innovative organisations have the following characteristics:

1. Managers send a clear message that the well-being of the company and its employees depends on continuous innovation.
2. People aren't afraid to try or suggest new things
3. No one feels a sense of entitlement for just showing up for work
4. There is a discomfort with current success - a nagging sense, there is more success to be had.
5. People rise and fall on their merits and contributions
6. Employees are outward looking: They seek ideas and best practices among competitors, through professional contacts, and in other industries.

If your company lacks these characteristics, change now before it's too late !!!!!
