What's the rationale for innovation ? Simple: productivity led increases in efficiency, effectiveness, profits, environmental stewardship, overall sustainability of quality of human life and the life of the planet. And how's innovation possible? At the macro level economic policy and regulatory frameworks nurture innovation; at the firm level, leadership creates the environment for innovation. At the micro level or at the level of the individual, finding purpose, meaning and spiritual growth spurs innovation. The synergy of these three levels unleashes human creativity which in turn results in innovation! #leadership #innovation #creativity #economic policy#regulatory framework#environment #quality of life.
