How to build a more innovative culture

To foster a culture of innovation, it's important for leaders to hold creative conversations. This means being receptive to new ideas and encouraging idea generators in a positive way. Traditional critical conversations often lead to frustration and a lack of new ideas. By using tools such as "Yes And," "What I Find Interesting," and "The Essence of Your Idea Is," leaders can teach themselves to hold more creative conversations. These tools encourage idea enhancement and clarification, rather than simple acceptance or rejection. Overall, fostering a culture of innovation requires openness and collaboration between all parties involved.
