Process Improvement
The shifts to the information age and the global marketplace have presented new and complex challenges with regard to creativity and innovation. These shifts require organizational leaders to rely less on the traditional tools and techniques of management. Although hierarchical organizational structures, standardized procedures, formal planning processes, centralized decision making, and numbers-oriented control systems ensure steadiness, operational efficiency, and predictable results, these same processes have tended to limit and impede the flexibility needed for innovation, creativity, and change. Instead, adaptive leaders have relaxed these organizational principles and have focused more on strategic visions to motivate, inspire, and empower all employees to share internal knowledge, gather external information, and challenge the status quo…which enables creativity. Because human performance is regulated through cognitive, emotional, motivational, and decisional processes, especially during setbacks and challenging circumstances, leaders should invest in mindfulness, adaptive mind-sets, goal achievement, energy management, situational awareness, and self-awareness in an effort to improve flexible and adaptive leadership skills.
