‘In a world defined by uncertainty, innovation is no longer the job of a select few. It’s a leadership capability every leader needs. Innovation Eats Uncertainty shows leaders how to navigate this new reality.’
Jeremy Utley, former Director of Executive Education at Stanford d.school and co-author of Ideaflow
Innovation Eats Uncertainty
The world you’re leading in is more volatile and complex than ever before, and competition and disruption move faster than any plan can account for. You’re expected to drive fresh thinking in your team, but you also have to meet your usual delivery targets. Innovation Eats Uncertainty shares the mindset and tools you need to lead through uncertainty and unlock innovation in your team. In this book, you’ll discover how to better lead innovation in both your everyday work and for future growth, while delivering today.
Innovation is a core leadership skill, and author Nathan Baird has spent 25+ years helping managers, leaders and executives build it. In Innovation Eats Uncertainty, he shows you step-by-step how to put in place the strategy, systems and ways of working that enable innovation to take hold. You’ll discover how to turn innovation from a side project into the way your team works every day.
Innovation Eats Uncertainty is a book for every leader who wants their team to adapt, perform and create value in a changing world — whether or not innovation is in their job title.
‘Innovation is fundamental to how leaders respond to change and create growth. In Innovation Eats Uncertainty, Nathan combines deep expertise with practical insight to show how leaders at every level can unlock innovation and create lasting value through their teams. This is essential reading for anyone leading change and growth in a complex organisation.’
Stephanie Pemberton, Head of Inflight Experience and Product Design at Qantas
‘Innovation Eats Uncertainty is the book I wish every leader read before setting out to make their team or organisation more innovative. It is refreshingly practical, giving leaders a real framework for building this capability instead of another manifesto that just tells them why it matters.’
Mike Belsito, Head of Product Evangelism at Mind the Product and Pendo, and forthcoming author of The Future-Proof Product Manager
‘With rapid change now the norm, the organisations that will thrive are those that build the culture and capability to innovate and adapt. Innovation can’t exist as a standalone function. It must become everyone’s responsibility, embedded in everyday thinking, decision-making and problem-solving. For leaders navigating disruption, transformation and increasing complexity, this book offers practical tools to shift innovation from an occasional initiative to a powerful part of the organisational fabric.’
Natalie Previtera, Chief Executive Officer at NGS Super
