How can I become an innovative person?

Innovative Person: We often see the word innovation, and it is sometimes amazing what qualifies for innovation, because this buzz word is being talked about. Those of us who are creative and innovative know that our chances of success are greater than those without such talents and qualities. Perhaps this is why so many people are trying to learn to innovate themselves. It certainly looks good on a resume, and most job descriptions include one or two sentences, such as; looking for an innovative self-starter. Let's talk a little bit about innovation and see if you can figure out how to better position yourself as someone who is innovative.

Innovation is combining observations and solutions from other domains

Many who have thought about it long enough realize that most of the good innovations in a given sector come from borrowing ideas or sharing ideas from other sectors or domains. Most innovators I know admit that most of their new original thinking concepts come to them this way. If this is the case, we don't need to teach innovation at all, we just need more polymaths and people with huge arrays in many areas.

Unfortunately, that would mean that all 'Innovation Gurus' would be out of work and give very few seminars, because until their enrolled students had more experiences in more areas of life and work, the seminar participants would not be ready to use the methodology taught or have enough knowledge to be a future contender at the top of innovators.

Of course, the scary part of this theory of re-combination to create innovation means it's quite easy to teach and if so anyone can do it so maybe that's why everyone is trying to specialize in today this "innovation coach" general category. Once someone has experience and knowledge and understands how to use information in one area in another area, they can become innovators, at least adept at the most common type of innovation that is.

If you have played sports, you can use some of the strategies and tactics used to win and use something similar in a business situation to improve a product or sell a service. Maybe you had a short period in a summer job and realize that some of your observations can be used there at the organization where you work or are now volunteering. You may be using a kitchen utensil that might also be good for a job at work, with just a little tweak. There is an opportunity to innovate. Take this. Think about it both early and often.

Do the right thing for the wrong reason

Do the right thing for the wrong reason

If you do things for the right reasons, you will get great results. However, if you do the same things for the wrong reasons, you can never be happy with the result. In other words, the why is much more important than the what and the how.

Let's explore some good deeds destined to make you unsatisfied, if done for the wrong reasons:

Helping someone in need. Did they ask for help? What did you expect (without communicating)? And how did you feel when your calendar was not published? Why did you want to help? So that you feel good about yourself and have a clear awareness? Or was your attention alone and selfless for the other, just being there for them without any attachment to a particular result?

I wish someone to be happy. First, how do you know they aren't? Second, do you want their luck for theirs or yours? What is the problem if they were not happy? What does it mean to you? That you fail as a parent, as a child, as a partner or as a friend? Is this really about them or maybe you desperately want to ease your own suffering?

Take a spiritual course. Did you do it just for the experience? Or are you trying to recover yourself, or maybe to get more coping mechanisms so you can better control the world around you?
Do your best to please people. Are you just doing it because? Or try manipulating them to give them their attention, love and approval.

Now ask yourself:

Could it be that your motivation is rooted in fear, control and desire to manipulate (to get something back or to fill an apparent void)? Or do you act for the sake of experience, simply because it feels good and good.

Are you attached to a certain result? Or you just remain committed to the process, regardless of the result.

Do you give or act? Do you get angry when people don't respond in kind? Or do you give nothing unconditionally in return?

Do you act with integrity or are you selfish? Are you trying to look like a saint, but do you feel like the devil?

The test of whether you are doing something for the right reasons is simple. Watch and see how you feel. Are you happy or are you grumpy and resentful? Either way, if you stay happy, your motivation is rooted in unconditional love and acceptance. If you are cranky, your motivation is selfish, manipulative and greedy. Examine yourself carefully realizing that for another reason you can do the same and achieve a completely different result. Explain why the WHY knows that when the WHY is big enough, the HOW takes care of itself.

Instead of talking, leaders must walk the walk!

Although it is often that someone in a leading position makes empty promises and uses unfulfilled, rhetoric to make the most important transformation, from just a certain position, to a meaningful, real, effective leader, one must do more than talk, talk and be ready , willing, able and dedicated to walk, walk!

If someone expresses an inspiring, motivating message, while clearly explaining his plan of action and reasoning, he declares that he has the authority to have the last word!

5. Listen; to learn; leadership: nobody knows it all, so a true leader listens and learns effectively from every conversation and experience to acquire the knowledge, judgment and wisdom, which improves his leadership credentials and skills and makes others perhaps more willing to go to him to listen and follow!
