Something Really New

A topic like innovation can be met with mental resistance because we’ve all been duped and marketed things that either aren’t innovative or not practical for us to use. “In the world of product and service innovation, utility is the driving force,” writes innovation expert Denis Hauptly. “The right questions…let us understand usefulness and create product innovations that enhance usefulness.” Innovating is not a mystery, in fact, the process is much simpler than you might expect.

I talk with Denis about what companies can be innovative, how to define it, and how to know you’ve got an idea worth running with.

What Made jack welch JACK WELCH by Stephen H. Baum

The people that rise through the ranks to the corner office come from all walks of life. They have different economic and educational backgrounds, and yet they find themselves running some of the largest and most challenging companies. Jack Welch was an ‘ordinary guy’ when he joined the ranks of GE and wasn’t eying the C-suite the first day on the job. Stephen interviewed dozens of executives and reveals the patterns and experiences that are the foundation of extraordinary leaders.

I talk with Stephen about what some of those common elements are, gauging when it’s “your moment” and dealing with crisis.
