When you’re lean, the momentum and success of your organization rely on a small group of people capable of designing and testing solutions for a wide range of challenges. Even with a cross-functional mindset, there’s an inherent challenge facing collaborative teams: how to prevent groupthink.

In the uncertain world of innovation, companies waste millions building products that fail. When it comes to innovation, companies tend to adopt one of the following two extreme views: They believe that the ways things have always been done will continue to work throughout the life of their company.

There’s a saying that ‘position gives authority and behavior earns respect’. In coaching leaders across many countries, I’ve learned that the best leaders are open to learning from anyone and anything around them. They are humble, they don’t rely on seniority or a title to get things done, and they build support and follower-ship through the values they demonstrate. These leaders also understand that leadership and learning are integral to each other.  Like Spiderman, great leaders know that ‘with great power comes great responsibility’. We trust our leaders not only with the care of our ..read more
