Top 5 Traits of Successful Innovators

Dr. Evans Baiya, AllBusiness.com, July 2021

Steve Jobs once said, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” He was certainly referring to leading in terms of industry: if your company is innovating, it will generally lead the pack. But I think he was also referencing positional titles in the workplace. If you are a leader, you are expected to innovate. And if you are an innovator, you have the potential to be a leader.

But whether you have a leadership title or not, innovation begins with a position—a mental position. From this starting point, continual innovation is sustained by a set of mindsets: convictions of change, growth, and value.Read More

The New Pandemic

Ron Price, HR.com, May 2021

Eight out of 10 American adults have it—you’ve probably caught it. It’s costing you in more ways than you know. In fact, it is estimated to be costing employers an average of $13,400 per employee per year. What is it? Covid-19 Stress!

The American Psychological Association reports that the mental health consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic have created record-high levels of stress in almost 80% of all adults. At work, this is creating hidden costs through increased turnover, absenteeism, disengagement, unhappiness, loss of innovation, decreased resilience and inability to focus. And all of this adds up to lost productivity and profit. According to the American Institute of Stress, more than 275 million working days per year are lost because of stress.Read More

How Leaders Can Guide Company Culture

Dr. Francis Eberle, HR.com, March 2021

Imagine a high school where students, and all boys at that, are asked to exhibit leadership in setting student behavior norms, conducting student discipline and maintaining the school’s facilities. At the small all-boys high school I attended, this was exactly what happened. The seniors set the school behavior standards and punishments for all students, managed and maintained the grounds, supported the kitchen and dining room, and facilitated cleaning of the living areas and rooms. It was a unique school.

I learned then, and have seen even more since, that there are good and bad leaders. More importantly, both leadership types have an enormous influence on the culture and interactions of the organizations they lead. At my high school, fierce disciplinarians were mocked behind their backs and avoided as much as possible.Read More

Dr. Evans Baiya, InnovationManagement.com, March 2021

The pandemic has given us all an opportunity to build a new business future. Market disruption equals opportunity for those willing to look and work for it. This is the time to adjust and innovate your business model to market conditions.

During COVID and the VUCA season it has created, we have seen ample reason for companies to adjust their business models. There are three main catalysts for business model innovation: market contraction or expansion, introducing a new product or service, and/or trying to attract new customers. These three factors have been increasingly present over the past year.Read More

How Can Challenges Inspire You To Think Differently

Dr. Francis Eberle, HR.com, November 2020

When I was in graduate school for my doctoral degree, I submitted a paper to a well-respected professor. Afterward, he asked to meet and inquired whether English was my second language. It wasn’t. At the time, I was working full time, had a young family and commuted 1.5 hours each way to the school several nights a week, getting home at midnight. I was often very tired. I could have blamed these circumstances, but I knew better.

Dr. Evans Baiya, HR.com, November 2020

In my work, I hear a lot of reasons why people don’t engage in innovation: “That’s not part of my job description.” “I’m not and idea person.” “Innovation doesn’t really apply to my industry.” “We don’t need innovation right now. Our company is doing just fine.” “Our workforce is already well trained.” “The CEO is the one who comes up with new ideas.
