Book description
Innovation involves more than turning out high-tech gadgets, and innovators are complex human beings of different backgrounds and all types. Unfortunately, innovation has hit a wall in the workplace because the human component has frequently been neglected. Organizations focus too much on the mechanics of innovation and not enough on the underlying people-based principles. To promote innovation, leaders must first understand what drives it: people.
