Innovative Leadership and its benefits to the Organization and team

When Seetha Sagaran invited me to speak about Innovative Leadership, I was delighted.

Having worked at Saatchi and HSBC, I have seen the role of innovative leadership in large companies.

When I founded Seo Souq in 2016 and started working with some of the most dynamic Government departments in the UAE, I was able to see another aspect of innovative leadership and how it can positively impact work culture and productivity.

One of the topics that we will be covering during the webinar will be How do you cultivate an innovative leadership approach to organizational management?

If you have heard about the 20% Google Time, you will already know about how to cultivate an innovative leadership approach.

Google famously implemented a policy allowing employees to spend 20% of their time working on personal projects unrelated to their core responsibilities.

This innovative leadership approach resulted in products like Gmail, Google News, and AdSense. It fostered a culture of creativity, autonomy, and experimentation, leading to continuous innovation within the company.

The second topic is What is the ideal leadership style that can incorporate the essential qualities of the innovative leadership approach?

Steve Jobs is often cited as one of the most innovative leaders of our time. His visionary leadership transformed Apple from near bankruptcy to one of the most valuable companies globally.

During the webinar, we will analyze Jobs' innovative leadership led to groundbreaking products like the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook, which revolutionized entire industries.

Jobs' emphasis on design, user experience, and disruptive innovation not only drove Apple's growth but also inspired and motivated employees to think differently and push boundaries.

Thirdly, we talk about How can we boost creativity and drive team growth through innovation in leadership?

Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, introduced a culture of freedom and responsibility, focusing on attracting and retaining top talent.

Netflix's innovative culture allowed it to disrupt the traditional entertainment industry.

Its emphasis on data-driven decision-making, customer-centricity, and agile methodologies enabled rapid adaptation to changing market dynamics, leading to the creation of original content and global expansion.

And finally, How can we apply the principles of the innovative leadership approach to release workplace creativity?

Toyota's innovative leadership under Taiichi Ohno and Eiji Toyoda led to the development of the Toyota Production System (TPS), also known as Lean Management.

TPS revolutionized manufacturing by emphasizing continuous improvement, waste reduction, and employee involvement. Toyota's efficient production processes and high-quality standards became a benchmark for the automotive industry, resulting in increased competitiveness and profitability.
