SESSION II LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION
This session would focus on how Innovation and leadership are meticulously related. Innovation leadership involves creating
different leadership styles in organizations to influence employees to harvest creative ideas, products, services and solutions.
Change is happening all the time whether we are aware or not. A random event, insight or an accident may be novel but shall we
consider it to be an innovation??? Leadership always has certain focus on bringing about a better future. In this sense, leaders
are essentially innovators. Do we normally consider a spectator of the status quo to be a leader? The term Innovation also
suggests some cessation with the standards or the status quo
