The authors are real people, bringing wisdom, insight and hard-won experience to that most difficult of tasks, leading transformation."--Mike King, Ogilvy and Mather, London, UK"Professors Scott Isaksen and Joe Tidd remind us that change and success are ultimately human endeavors. They tear down the distinctions between leadership and management and innovation and creativity that lead us to focus on characteristics rather than character. Most importantly, Isaksen and Tidd offer a rigorous integrated model for creative leadership and provide concrete ideas and suggestions, bringing that model alive. This is an important book."--Eugene J. McAllister President, University of Great Falls Montana, USA"As someone who has been doing research on organizational climate and leadership for the past forty years, I have particular interest in finding ways to stimulate and utilize the creative capabilities of people who work within organizations. This is a key challenge for those who seek both radical and incremental change. I am impressed that this book offers broader and deeper insights into such a relevant topic, and believe that it will be an excellent resource for both practitioners and scholars."--Göran Ekvall, Professor Emeritus Organizational Psychology Stockholm, Sweden Zusammenfassung Meeting the Innovation Challenge provides a balanced and integrated approach to creativity, innovation, change and leadership.
