So, here’s the scoop – we all know high performers thrive on innovation. And you, being the strong leader you are, want your team to innovate.
But guess what?
Sometimes, innovation is not flowing as smoothly as you’d like.
The issue?
Our top performers aren’t feeling safe enough.
I know, I know, sounds a bit out there, but hear me out.
The key lies in their own comfort zone.
Innovation involves a hefty dose of vulnerability. If you don’t create an environment that encourages risk-taking, innovation efforts will fall short.
Sure, you might have built a solid foundation of safety and trust across the organization, but here’s the twist – most high performers identify with winning, and genuine innovation demands failure.
For your high performers, it’s like stepping back into the beginner’s stage, where not knowing everything, facing hesitation, and taking genuine risks is ok.
Addressing this head-on and making it conscious is critical to unlocking innovation.
Once you’ve got that foundation locked in, the art of innovative thinking starts to flow easily.
And guess what?
Productivity goes through the roof!
I invite you to create a space where your top performers (or maybe it’s you) can embrace the beginner stage, risk a little, and unleash that beautiful innovation magic.
With love,
Mari Carmen
