| The pandemic has shown us how crisis can lead to rapid innovation. Just look at all of the companies that quickly pivoted to curbside pickup or adapted their services to new health regulations. How can a leader help their team retain this agility and sense of urgency even when there\u2019s no crisis? Here are three tips. First, engage in small experiments. Think about change not as a big project, but as a series of tests that help you quickly learn what works, what doesn\u2019t, and what it takes to execute an idea. Next, challenge your team to set goals that are short-term, high-priority, and challenging \u2014 and that are completely unrelated to their existing tasks and projects. The point isn\u2019t necessarily to achieve those goals, but to see what possible innovations may come of it. Finally, lean in and get personally involved. For an innovation to take off, leaders need to be actively invested. Don\u2019t wait for the next crisis to motivate your team; set the conditions for proactive \u2014 not reactive \u2014 innovation now.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
