Description
Book SynopsisWhy does real innovation elude so many companies, including those with the best technology, the cheapest resources, and even chief innovation officers? The problem is that they lack inspiration. Inspirationas defined and outlined in this bookis a discipline (not to be confused with the real but short-lived burst of energy that sometimes occurs after quarterly earnings reports or the arrival of a charismatic new leader). It is a systematic approach that, when applied consistently, brings long-term, sustainable results.
Look At More teaches you how to harness inspiration by thinking differentlyand to encourage others to do the same. Designed to be an individual and organizational hands-on guide, Look At More focuses on the front end of the InspirationCreativityInnovation continuum. Using Stefanovich's proven LAMSTAIH approach (Look At More Stuff, Think About It Harder), leaders and employees can develop the practical skills, leadership behavior, and cultural mind
