Over on Heads Up! on Organizational Innovation, Joyce Wycoft shares a touching ad with us about “Pulling the Wagon”. Maybe it’s because I live near a Clydesdale farm, but I think Joyce uses it effectively as a metaphor for innovation teamship, and she asks who’s efforts should be rewarded—those pulling the wagon or those pushing the wagon.
I would another question to managers with responsibility for innovation or product. Are you doing enough to push the wagon? Are you equipping your innovation workers with the skills and tools to pursue the organizations innovation objectives?
