As leaders of innovation how do we work with the pressure put on our position from outside us, the pressure we put on ourselves from the inside us and the pressurized reactions of others all around us? This session addresses the unique pressures and performance factors of repeat innovation leaders. The Innovation Leadership Map (ILM) is introduced as a performance tool that illuminates the behaviours, thoughts and feelings of innovation leaders when they are performing at their best. ILM integrates psychodynamics, leadership and innovation practices. It is based on 20 years of innovation leadership experience, distinguished research at INSEAD and insights from elite sports psychology. You will leave with a definition of innovation leadership and the six experience scales of innovation leadership to elevate your practice.
