It seems axiomatic that positioning innovation as a core value or business model is a high-reward, high-risk proposition. And that means that creating an innovation culture may very well require a different approach to leadership, a different way of thinking about yourself, and a different way of being mindful of your own development as a leader (Henry Doss, 2014).

In order to sustain meaningful change, they will need to embrace and understand the importance. In addition, the web site where everyone can buy invitations directly and print them locally will be one of the innovations that Joan wants to

The company’s board of directors decided that they needed a person from outside of the company, who had no connection and loyalty to previous vision, and no affiliation with previous management team. In my opinion, the company owners hired Loescher for a specific purpose to change the overall team perception of how work is supposed to be done.
