Daily Inspiration: "World-class innovators refuse to accept the way things were" - Futurist Jim Carroll
How do you become a world-class innovator? Not someone who merely pokes around the edges of innovative thinking and explores a few ideas here and there, but someone who truly tries to infuse the mindset of everything you do, or into every goal and action that your organization pursues.
I head to Orlando tomorrow, where I've got a repeat engagement with a client; they had me in exactly 10 years ago this week for a talk to their core client group. I dug out the slide deck I used back then to get a bit of a sense of the ground I covered with them, and it's going to provide quite a wonderful structure as I take a look at where we were a decade ago compared to now.
That said, what also caught my interest was the title slide in my keynote for them 10 years ago - "What Do World Class Innovators Do?"
That's because this is a theme that played into a tremendous number of keynotes from 2009 up until the pandemic in 2020.
It continues to do so. The original list used in the slide deck I used with them contained 10 key themes or actions that 'world-class innovators' undertake - valuable guidance in a fast-changing world. With that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to take on these topics in the next two weeks of Inspiration posts. Hence, starting tomorrow and running for just over two weeks, I'll cover each of these themes.
The over-arching theme in this leadership guidance? World-class innovators refused to accept that the way things were is the way things should be; they infuse the acceptance of change into everything they do. They refused the status quo, complacency, and standing still. The way things were in terms of action, strategy, mindset, and innovation won't carry them forward into the future - it will only bind them to the past. Think about that - it's a core issue that you need to adopt with everything you do!
