#05Future-focused leadership
Leadership doesn’t just protect stability: it sets the direction of change.
by Ilario Tornese · Certified Innovation Manager (UNI 11814)
The principle
Leading an organization means holding two tasks together: running today well and preparing for tomorrow. It takes the curiosity to question what has always worked, and a vision that gives change a meaning.
The most common mistake
Attention narrows to efficiency and the quarterly result. Questioning a successful model looks like an unnecessary risk, and leadership ends up meaning control.
How to recognize it
The company reacts late to market changes. People experience every novelty as a disruption. And when a competitor changes the rules of the game, you realize you have no alternatives ready.
Where to start
Set aside a share of management time and budget for exploration, even a small one, and report on it as seriously as on everything else.
