Business leaders create value for organizations either through obedience or risk, and one is at a surplus and no longer needed, said author and marketing expert Seth Godin at the 2010 World Innovation Forum, where ExecuNet exclusively reported for attendees.
Those who generate ideas and "work without a map" are the real high-value leaders, according to Godin, but many companies don't encourage employee innovation nor do they build a culture that fosters creative thinking for fear of failing.
But failure acts as a double-edge sword: "Doing what you're told is a sure way to failure," said Godin of obedience; however, corporate innovation is guaranteed in a culture of failure.

Recently, I had the good fortune to attend a dinner gathering in New York hosted by John Sumser the founder and CEO of Interbiznet and currently the editor of HR Examiner, a weekly publication which focuses on the people, technology, ideas and careers of senior leaders in human resources and human capital, all subjects on which he is a respected expert. It is a newsletter I always look forward to reading.I was fortunate enough to be seated next to Peter Clayton, the voice and engine behind Total Picture Radio, which is interested in career trends and thought leadership in that arena. It is a site I would suggest you visit regularly.
