Here are three keys ways you can stay on top as the leader of an innovative organization:

 

  1. Do a leadership reset

On a regular basis—once every six months or annually—take some time to ask yourself tough questions about your leadership capabilities and results. Are you applying the LeaderLogic Model in a balanced way to ensure that you’re practicing all of the principles of an innovation leader?

  1. Assess your own leadership skills

You can take a self-assessment test, but these can be inconclusive because it’s very hard to be subjective about yourself. The average person would have a difficult time admitting to themselves that they’re a lousy communicator or aren’t adaptable to changing conditions. But if properly administered by an objective coach, it can be a valuable exercise.

  1. Have your employees assess how they feel about themselves and their jobs

This is super valuable information! If many employees report the same negative viewpoint, then you owe it to yourself to find out why and to take steps to correct the problem. And always remember to treat your employees and colleagues as individuals, not as members of a demographic group!
