Lessons from the Leaders in Emerging Nations
For those wanting to learn how to move from being a fast-follower to an innovation leader - this is must-see presentation. Korean leaders (Samsung, Hyundai and SK) have move from imitators to pathfinders through bold leadership, partnerships and science & technology. The Singaporeans (Singapore Airlines, Singapore Technologies, and NOL) have moved to pathfinders through efficiency and service innovation. The Indians (Tata, Birla, Reliance and Infosys) are going global through bold leadership and serving the bottom of the pyramid. The Brazilians leaders (Bunge, Braskem, Vale, Natura) have moved to pathfinders by focusing on local natural advantages whether it is agriculture, bio-energy, exploration and extraction or ingredients from the Amazon.
Thinking & Acting Differently
Managing the core business is different from creating a new business. Rarely is a manager punished for missing an opportunity but many an innovator has been fired for taking on risk. Most managers are short-term focused, risk-averse, and have a command-control style while to innovate, you need to think long-term, be comfortable with ambiguity, be willing to take risk and leverage other peoples knowledge and competence. To be a great innovator, you have to do both - utilize the power of And. You have to think short-term and long-term, take incremental risk and breakthrough risk, be disciplined and creative - in essence you have to keep your eye on the ball and look around. This is a great talk for getting out of your "sand box" and for leadership development in any company.
