Melvin's New Leadership Model and Innovation Strategy

Leadership in the 21st century is no longer a fixed role.  Today's leadership operates in a fluid, dynamic environment where innovation rules and leadership can come from any direction including outside the group.  

Innovation, which is different from invention - developing great ideas, can be defined as ideas applied successfully in practice. Innovation is an important topic in the study of business entrepreneurship design technology sociology engineering. While innovation is usually associated with the output of the process, this site will tend to focus on the process itself, from the origination of an idea to its transformation into something useful, to its implementation and its impact on the system within which the process of innovation unfolds.
