Genius at scale. How Great Leaders Drive Innovation.
Delighted to meet Professor Linda Hill in London today on the launch of her latest book, Genius at Scale!
Top 3 points from the book:
Innovation must be led, not left to chance.
The book argues that innovation does not simply emerge from good ideas or talented individuals. Leaders have to deliberately create the conditions for people to collaborate, experiment and learn at scale.
The best leaders unlock collective genius.
A central message is that scalable innovation comes from co-creation across teams, functions and organisational boundaries - not from the “lone genius” model of leadership.
Leaders need to play three roles: Architect, Bridger, and Catalyst.
As Architects, leaders build the culture and capabilities for innovation.
As Bridgers, they connect people, partners, and perspectives across boundaries.
As Catalysts, they mobilise energy and momentum so ideas become real impact.
What are you doing in your organisation to drive innovation?
