A book for everyone dealing with innovations
|
I find this book really interesting because it's written in a way that newly appointed innovation manager can understand.
Chapters are sorted in a way that it can be useful as a manual too. The examples shown in this book are helping in a big way to undestand the theme.

An excellent management tool
|
|
Paul Sloane's book is one of the best management books I have read. It is very readable with short sharp examples. It is a book that can be dipped into when you have a few spare moments without any detriment to its overall message. Its message is clear that you should be not afraid to break conventional rules and builds from Paul Sloane's other books on Lateral Thinking.

An Inspiring Read
|
|
If you run or work in a business which is slow to change or is risk averse, then I would advise you to read this book. Paul gives a lot of practical guidance which I found stimulating and inspiring. Once you can contextualise it to your own situation you can see the possibilities that Paul talks about at length.

An action-packed book!
|
Aspiring creative leader, let Paul Sloane's "The Innovative Leader" be a guide for your actions, for your business, for yourself. It's a great book!
It's fun. It's serious. It's one hundred and seven things to do for yourself, for your company, with your people. Each section is between half a page and three pages. It's organized under six headings: Leading Innovation, Problem Analysis, Generating Ideas, Implementing innovation processes, Building a creative culture, Personal creativity.
It's practical. It's simple. It's a list of things to do and be. Don't tell, ask. Keep fit. Train for innovation. Try weird combinations. Tell stories. Be passionate. Encourage dissent.
It's challenging. It's disruptive. It's high energy.
Aspiring creative leader, will you really do this stuff? Or some of it? You should. It's simple. Not easy. Try. You have nothing to lose but your rusty chains to obsolescence. You have a world to win.

Insightful and practical guide to creating an innovative organisation
|
Paul Sloane presents another well-written and relevant guide for the modern business manager who is looking to instil a culture of innovation in his organisation. The book is written in snappy bite-size chapters, ideal for dipping into on the tube or between meetings. Sloane uses pertinent examples from top organisations to illustrate his messages. The book steers away from generic or purely theoretical frameworks, delivering instead a series of practical and implementable ways to bring about change in an organisation. Highly recommended.
