Strengths-focused Innovation, with Andy Jenkins


Listen Later

Join me and my special guest, Andy Jenkins of MyLeadership Strengths, for this episode on strengths-focused innovation.

Leading innovation in organisations brings great responsibility as well as opportunity.

 In Andy’s decades of work developing leaders, he’s seen a common response to that responsibility: leaders strive to be good at everything. Research, and his experience, show that the ‘perfect’ leader does not exist. In fact, evidence shows great leaders:

  • Have a strong understanding of their own unique strengths and capitalise on them
  • Address their most important individual weaknesses
  • Understand and tap into the strengths of others
  • In my conversation with Andy, we explore:

    • How strengths-based leadership is an essential ingredient for high-performing innovation teams, and successful innovation outcomes
  • How you can identify your own innovation leadership strengths, and how to put them into action to get the best results
  • Ways in which you can spot and leverage the strengths of the people around you to harness the collective capability of your full team
  • Tips and techniques for strengths-focused facilitation
  • To get in touch with Andy:
