Description

Companies in need of a fresh strategy for success realize that without it, change is merely substitution, not evolution. Post-pandemic, the global workforce is different, and business is becoming less about the business defining the individual and more about the individual defining the business. As individuals creating shared cultures that drive change and foster growth, people feel they are making contributions and connecting to leaders and their companies.

As a leader, you need the wisdom and courage to turn the spotlight of accountability on yourself. Problem is, most of us have no idea how to do this. Instead, leaders continue to manage by using old templates and cannot evolve to become the leaders America needs, because those templates stripped them of their identities, leaving them insecure about who they are and how to face change. To change the conversation, we need diversity of thought to stimulate new growth, attract new talent, and generate new marketplace opportunities.

That's why Glenn Llopis's prescient advice rings true, more than ever. Featuring six ways to disrupt the status quo and reinvent the way we work, The Innovation Mentality gives entrepreneurial and corporate leaders the tools they need to work with colleagues and employees to harness the power of positive change for the long term.

Featured Reviews

Six strategies to help disrupt the status quo and reinvent the way we work, since companies need change, is the central argument behind this book. The author claims that businesses are changing, morphing to represent the sum of their individual employees that define the business, instead of the business shaping how the employees feature.

To harness this change it can require skills that many leaders do not possess or they do not know how to use, it is said, and fortunately this book believes it can step up to the mark and be the catalyst required. Relying on past strategies, experiences and teaching is insufficient for this brave new world, in any case.

Does this book help contribute towards change? Possibly. It is less certain that it is going to be the only resource, but it can be an inspirational starter in any case. It may depend on the individual reader. It does provide a wealth of information that can have you thinking about things. Will it be enough to tip you over the edge and start the change process though? This may be a bit of a catch-22 issue. It certainly does not hurt to check it out, as it has a credible, helpful air that makes it harder to ignore.

It is more of a ‘longer read’ than a reference book. You need to reserve time to consult it, consider it and let its messages sink in. A book that may be more for inspiration than action, on one hand, but the action can automatically follow if one is sufficiently inspired and ready too!

In 'The Innovation Mentality' Glen Llopis provides strategies of the immigrant perspective - See, Sow, Grow and Share. Each chapter has
1. Associated Behaviors and Workplace Characteristics for each strategy
2. What Opportunity Gaps does each strategy solve for?
3. Ask Yourself
4. Ask your company

There are examples of diversity at CVS, CEO of Chobani, defining personal brand value proposition, Integrated and Employee- branded communities, cross-pollination of leadership identity.

Later part of the book is devoted to 'Cultural Demographic Shift' and the problems it can solve.

"Without Strategy, Change Is Merely Substitution, Not Evolution". Tables show how these approaches are different.

Notables-
"The failure to recognize that new products and services can require significantly different business models is often what leads to missed opportunities"
"Embracing a workplace culture that demands strategic focus encourages employees to unleash their full potential"
"Leadership is about the desire to be significant ,not just successful.."

Overall, you see the synergy required between individuals and the whole corporation for evolution.
