Leading for Innovation

Company-wide innovation begins with great leadership.

However, as Brandeau and his co-authors discovered when researching the recently published book, Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation, unleashing company-wide creativity takes a special type of leadership – one that differs from the profile typically associated with “good” leadership.

In this presentation, Brandeau will discuss the common leadership characteristics and practices he found when studying a wide range of innovative organizations such as Google, eBay, Pixar, and Pfizer. He’ll provide specific examples of how great leaders foster innovation at all level of their organizations by:

Facilitating creative thinking and diverse opinions Encouraging smart risks and viewing mistakes as learning opportunities Proactively managing change, promoting honest communications, and preserving culture fundamentals Brandeau will also share numerous anecdotes from his own career, which includes leadership roles at NeXT, Pixar, and The Walt Disney Studios. Attendees will leave with new insights on the correlation between leadership and innovation and ideas for how they can help their own executive teams build cultures of innovation.
