20 分钟Innovation requires effective communication, collaboration, and conflict.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk Smart, the podcast.
Today I'm excited to speak with Linda Hill.
Linda is a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School.
Her research focuses on leadership development, building agile, innovative organizations, and implementing global strategies.
Linda is also the author of three important and popular books, becoming a manager, collective genius, the art and practice of leading innovation and being the boss, and the three imperatives of becoming a great leader.
Linda, thanks for being here, and thanks to our friends at HBR for allowing us to record in their studio.
It's a real pleasure to be with you.
Excellent.
I look forward to our conversation.
Up for getting started?
Yes, I am.
All right.
I find your research really interesting and important.
One outcome of your work is your distinction between leading for innovation and leading for change.
Can you help us understand the difference between the two?
Yes, I'd be glad to.
So, I am a protege of John Cotter and Warren Bennis, and they taught us that leadership was about dealing with change or coping with change.
So leadership was about, if you will, coming up with a vision, communicating that vision, and inspiring people to want to fulfill that vision.
