Top 3 creativity and innovation priorities?

Disney Creativity Keynote Speaker
Most creative improvements happen on the front line. Small, low-cost to no-cost iterations that continuously improve things over time. Cast experience improvements. Customer experience improvements. Business-financial improvements. And of course, leadership improvements.

A leader and a direct report are paired and each has a Post-it note. The leader writes the top three creativity and innovation priorities she expects of her direct report. And the direct report writes the top three creativity and innovation priorities she thinks the leader expects from her.

What are the odds the lists match?

The entire point of clarity with expectations, priorities, and accountability comes down to scaling a winning formula. As employees become leaders, and as employees and leaders move around within an organization, the core mission, and the structure and processes to maintain and improve the mission are your cultural bedrock.

Shared accountability is a myth.

As CEO of You, Inc., you are in charge of, and accountable for, everything in your life.

What grade do you give yourself?

executive desires
CEO of You, Inc (Executive desires). All are reasonable.

Context: competition is the battle between who you are currently compared to who you dream of becoming.

Where do you place yourself for effort:

  • A = over-focused, competition-level proactive change
  • B = above average, change when forced to
  • C = average, doing nothing now but planning to
  • D = doing nothing now and probably not going to
  • F = doing nothing now and never changing

Every CEO is in charge of their entire organization life. Your life is your “organization”. You are the CEO of You, Inc.

What this means is anyone with a C or lower is projected to go out of business.

Going out of business personally means a life of surviving versus a life of thriving.

If you say you love and admire excellence then…

Truth and health
Same with blind spots. They cause “inflammation”.

 

If you say you love and admire excellence then…

Prove it.

And prove it without having your boss resort to efforts that make the boss uncomfortable.

Please.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
