[PROGRAM BLOCK] Leadership for Disruptive Innovation

Who is ready to rock the world with disruptive innovations? GIRLS!

You’ve probably already heard that disruptive innovation needs disruptive leadership. As Harvard Business Review once stated: “The theory of disruptive innovation has proved to be a powerful way of thinking about innovation-driven growth. Many leaders of small, entrepreneurial companies praise it as their guiding star!” But not even the most prosperous entrepreneurial model is nothing without good leadership!

The disruptive innovation journey is accompanied by tough challenges, the biggest one being decommissioning obsolete business processes with zero impact on ongoing business, while also incorporating intrinsically new processes. That is when true and proper leadership plays a game-changing role. 

Disruptive leaders are many things, but most of all are voracious for information about changing trends in the industry and constantly ask people the toughest questions. They are valiant because they bravely lead people and organizations through uncertainty, encourage variety in thinking and open-mindedness, and are veracious in everything. Meet some of them and their stories of success in our next program block!
