In this episode…

Companies want their operations to be efficient, but they also want to be innovative industry leaders. Combining both these ideals can be challenging. Frequently innovation takes a back seat to the status quo of smooth operations. So how can leaders foster creative ideas within their organizations to stay ahead of the industry curve?

This process is far easier said than done, with many converging reasons that keep innovation at bay. Great ideas are rarely given the proper consideration or the support they need to become something extraordinary. Robyn Bolton is an experienced consultant who has worked with countless leading brands, pointing them along the path toward innovation. According to Robyn, a lack of innovative ideas in your organization is due to a problem within the company's leadership. Leaders don’t always realize that a culture that accepts new ideas doesn’t exist within the company.

They touch on key leadership concepts and how they affect innovation, creating a culture that’s conducive to fresh ideas, and why it’s important to give accurate feedback early on in the process.
