Strategic Alignment
A grand,
noble vision elevates the energy,
enthusiasm and self-esteem of all team
members and gets them focused on a
common target.
Passion
A great
innovation team is infused with a great
passion about doing great new things
together.
Entrepreneurial Attitude
For the
members of a great innovation team,
entrepreneurship is a way of both life
and business. Their unending creative
dissatisfaction with the status quo,
fearless pursuit to push the limits of
conventional wisdom into breakthrough
directions, and willingness to treat
mistakes arising from daring initiatives
as investments lead them to great
achievements.
Cross-functional Excellence
Team
members possess complementary know-how,
have a diversity of thinking and
abilities, and are assigned with
interconnected roles. They
cross-pollinate their diverse knowledge
and ideas to create systemic innovations
and achieve holistic success.
Synergy
The value
created by a great innovation team is
greater than the sum of individual
contributions by its members.
Cross-pollination of ideas, creative
cooperation, synergized diversities,
reflection on each others viewpoints,
and relationships among team members are
inspiring and empowering. The common
larger purpose and the benefits of
achieving it make team members see and
appreciate the great value of a
synergistic approach.
Commitment
An
innovation team stays committed to its
vision, but is flexible in its approach.
