Daily Inspiration: "World class innovators possess a relentless focus on growth"- Futurist Jim Carroll
I'm running a series of posts on the idea of "World Class Innovaton" - what I saw my global clients focusing on during volatile times. The series unfolds here over the next two weeks.
----
It seems intuitive to know that every organization focuses on growth - after all, what's the point if not otherwise?
But what world-class innovators do is stay focused on that growth despite any volatility or negativity. That's what differentiates them, and it's a powerful lesson that I learned while watching what organizations did during the economic meltdown of 2008 and previously, with the downturn of 2001-02. I used this fact in the opening to many of my talks that would unfold in the years that followed: "I’ve had a unique first-hand opportunity to witness what’s happening on the ground throughout corporate America as the events of the recession unfold.”
What I was witnessing was a series of CEOs and senior executives at the events that I was keynoting - often speaking before me - with a message that was essentially a relentless focus on growth.
And it's this leadership trait that I worked into the first point of my list of 'world-class innovators.'
The commonality of all of these CEOs was that despite an uncertain future, it was critical to focus on opportunity, trends, tomorrow, and the future - and growth. That became item #1 in my list of "what world-class innovators do."
Growth matters because the optimism you focus upon in aligning tomorrow is one of the most important things you can do!
