Innovative Leadership

From Mike Brown’s book, Ideas Magnets: An innovative leader “makes sure his or her personal core purpose is solid. This grounding on what’s important extends to their teams and organizations.”
Mike Brown

In the book, Art of Leadership: Leading Early Childhood Organizations, what Margie Carter wrote about innovation a little while ago is now more relevant than ever:

“In challenging and uncertain economic times like the present, many people and organizations are reluctant to step outside of what is familiar and most common. In my mind, these times present us with an opportunity for innovation that could take us beyond anything we have imagined as possible for high-quality early childhood programming. Innovation sometimes involves bold, radical steps and in other cases, plotting a course with incremental steps that lead to new realities. As Jim Rohn wrote; ‘When you know what you want, and want it badly enough, you will find a way to get it. You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.’”
