Overview

Every leader claims to want innovation. Few build organizations where creativity actually flourishes. The difference isn't talent, resources, or luck-it's whether innovation operates as an occasional heroic effort or an everyday organizational habit. The Innovation Habit reveals why most innovation initiatives fail spectacularly and what separates organizations that innovate consistently from those that merely talk about it. Drawing on decades of research and real-world experience across industries, this book dismantles the myth that innovation requires genius and proves that any organization can build sustainable creative capability. You'll discover: Why psychological safety matters more than brilliant strategy for innovation success How to structure organizations that enable creativity rather than constrain it The art of asking questions that unlock hidden opportunities How to build experimentation cultures where intelligent failure drives learning What motivates creative people beyond money (and why traditional incentives often backfire) How to sustain innovation through leadership changes, market crises, and growth pressures The rituals and practices that make innovation permanent rather than temporary This isn't another book promising easy innovation through five simple steps. It's an honest, practical guide for leaders willing to do the hard work of building innovation as organizational DNA. You'll find no magic formulas here-just proven frameworks, battle-tested practices, and realistic timelines for seeing results. Whether you're a CEO transforming enterprise culture, a middle manager building team capability, or an individual contributor trying to drive change from your position, this book provides the roadmap for making innovation stick. The question isn't whether your organization needs innovation capability. In a world of accelerating change, that capability determines who survives and who doesn't. The question is whether you're willing to build it-not through occasional initiatives that fade, but as a habit that endures. Your competitors are making their choice. What's yours?
