Innovating via blogging

Isn’t it a tough journey to celebrate 8000 blog postings - to pursue the digital way of brainstorming, innovating and sharing.

Blogging is just like you are designing and making your own jigsaw puzzles, to symbolize your professional journey. There are so many pieces with blended colors and shapes. You have to take a guess, discover the hidden clues, find missing pieces, rearrange it, paint it and glue it up. 

Blogging is a creative activity to brainstorm, share knowledge, deepen multidisciplinary understanding, convey unique insight to innovate leadership with the following perspectives.…slideshare

Go further: Leadership vision is to be a guiding light, giving people confidence on where to go and how to get there, supporting them and also stretching them to live to their full potential, both individually and as members of a high performing team. A visionary leader changes the course of the organization by seeing beyond what all others see or by charting new revenue or growth through the creation of new products, services, business models or market share, etc. With a clear vision, the effective leadership has great capacities of keeping the mind focused on the ultimate goal and understanding how to motivate multi-generational and multicultural workforce to achieve the “art of possible.”

Go deeper: Leadership is the journey of continuous learning; leadership insight is to serve as an enabler to make profound influences. Influence comes from progressive mindsets, deep understanding, and step-wise actions. Great leaders are great problem-solvers. The more complex the situation is, the more different perspectives, approaches and role gaming are needed to reach for in-depth understanding. Going deeper is truly about thinking beyond the surface and breaking through conventional wisdom. Going one inch deeper, the leadership can improve its maturity significantly.

Go cross-disciplinarily: Leadership really is a character and personal development, you must continue to learn and improve upon the leadership capabilities. Challenging beliefs, ideas, and strategies along with accepted ways of doing things are all hallmarks of leadership. Great leaders today identify, analyze, and mind multiple gaps with cross-disciplinary knowledge and holistic understanding.To solve many of today’s complex problems creatively, people often need to think out-of-the-box or in the bigger box, work cross-disciplinarily, expand the boundaries to allow their mind flow, and thus idea flow. The heterogeneous team with cognitive differences is more innovative than the homogeneous group setting, as good ideas are multidimensional, they take root in unsuspected places and they evolve with time and by unexpected connections.

Blogging is like writing a dynamic book, with many chapters in it, to share leadership, innovation, people management, change, etc. Contemporary "leadership" needs to be re-imagined, explored, understood and embraced for it to be of any value. In fact, the key to organizational success is to integrate the next generation of leaders, tap into their way of looking at the world, and solve problems in very creative and collaborative styles.
