Summary of Putting Your Company's Whole Brain to Work (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition)
Innovate or fall behind: The competitive imperative for virtually all businesses today is that simple. Responding to that command is difficult, however, because innovation takes place when different ideas, perceptions, and ways of processing and judging information collide. And it often requires collaboration among players who see the world differently. As a result, the conflict that should take place constructively among ideas all too often ends up taking place unproductively among people. Disputes become personal, and the creative process breaks down. The manager successful at fostering innovation figures out how to get different approaches to grate against one another in a productive process the authors call creative abrasion. Managers who want to encourage innovation need to examine what they do to promote or inhibit creative abrasion.General Books
