Your readings have introduced you to many leaders who are innovative and help their organizations become more innovative. One of these is Vineet Nayar, former CEO of HCLT. His approach to leading innovation transformed an at-risk IT services company into a global leader. By examining Nayar’s example, and that of other leaders like him, we can learn more about the skills and behaviors of such leaders and how they prepare their organizations to be more innovative. It helps to have a model of assessment when studying these leaders. In this paper, the assessment model you will use is the “DNA of Disruptive Innovators”—that is, the five discovery skills from your Innovator’s DNA textbook.
Supportive readings:
•Dess, Lumpkin, and Eisner’s 2012 “Strategic Management: Creating Competitive Advantages.”
•Nayar’s 2010 article “A Maverick CEO Explains How He Persuaded His Team to Leap into the Future.”
•The Introduction and Chapters 1–6 in The Innovator’s DNA.
•Hitt, Haynes, and Serpa’s 2010 article “Strategic Leadership for the 21st Century.”
Your task in this paper includes the following elements:
1.You will analyze the global trends that influenced the need for Nayar to create a more innovative organization.
2.You will assess Nayar’s use of the five discovery skills as an innovation leader.
3.You will make recommendations for his improvement on use of the discovery skills.
Communicating Your Insights
You will also be evaluated on how well you communicate your insights. It is expected that you will communicate in a manner that is professional and consistent with expectations for members of the business professions.
To aid you in doing this, follow these guidelines:
