Give your boss this story: Innovation starts with the leader

Without leadership, training, and rewards, innovation will not happen.
From our Innovation in Magazines World Report 2016-2017 

Innovation dies at the top. Without a leader who creates a culture that encourages and rewards innovation, creativity, and risk-taking, no one will feel safe enough or empowered enough to risk failing. Nothing will change because change will have no champions.

“The most successful leaders are usually ones balancing between pushing people to change but also, through providing training and support, are managing some of the anxiety that comes up around that.” Carrie Brown, Co-author of the Lean Newsroom

“It’s really just a big issue around creating mutual trust and respect between teams.” Trei Brundrett, Chief Product Officer of Vox Media
