Fullan incredible work. With terrific catch him how leaders can significantly
improve the learning and their performance, even in situations that are not controlled, where they are.
Too often we see that between education and business to run separately. Fullan exactly the contrary, blend the best of the knowledge of each field to a concept with an example to improve the leadership in both fields.
Business leaders, NGOs, and the public sector at this time facing new challenges and situations that do not self-certainty朴ertumbuhan technology very rapidly, the market movements, the crisis, and general inconvenience. If they want to壮elamat in a situation that is not stabilized, the leaders must develop the skills they need to be able to lead effectively, even though the world around them are changing.
Leading in the Culture of Change offers a view of the new leadership to a change in the dynamic and imaginative approach to memndu in the process of change. Michael Fullan is internationally recognized as an expert in organizational change-enunjukkan how卜In his book "Only the paranoid Survive" (New York Currency: 1996), Andy Grove told many things about the business environment, decision making and execution that run in conjunction with its position as Co CEO of Intel. Step Grove core business of the memory chip microprocessor to many votes as the success of the act. Previously, Intel faced the dilemma facing many of the products Japan was the first memory chip market in addition to the views of business resources, Japanese manufacturers are more powerful.
Grove at that time the three options that were not easy. Options include the first 'low cost strategy. If companies want to beat Japan, Intel must banting price. The second option, if it does not afford the price banting, Intel must play in a small niche market, 'Niche Market strategy'. Very day is not easy because the consequences of a claim on the stability and profit margin. Third, innovasi products. If you want to win, a scale down one's demands to improve the product so that more affordable by the market with better quality and, most important, is not easily imitated by Japanese manufacturers.
Intel eventually chose the third. Choice was right, so then deliver Grove dinobatkan "Man of the year" version of Time magazine, 1997. Intel innovation according to the opinion from the beginning Grove courage experimentation and flexibility in running the product changes. When it is considered not enough for Intel solely on strategy 'clear vision' and 'stable' but need to change the concept of thinking. Grove is recognized as: "If company is experiencing rigidity in thinking and resistance to change, that company will not survive in high speed global market place."
Learning from the start that Grove success by using the keyword innovation, it's not wrong if a keyword that we use for success in the context of development. In fact, just the innovation is not merely that of understanding and good mempraktekkannya level in the organization or private, but the most barren or fail. Then, in order not to fail, the format, such as whether the innovation should be used?
Thorough
Kasarnya, speaking of brilliant ideas can be found in the head a lot of people or organizations, but innovation does not stop at the bright ideas. There is also a form of action merely different from the others because the concept of innovation is not a single change in the sense only for a change (change for the sake of change). Innovation is the real innovation is understood as the overall implementation of the concept include components and segmennya. Refers to the opinion Beth Webster in the "Innovation: we know we need it but how do we do it" (Harbridge Consulting Group: 1990), innovation is a material change or find a job or a complete work better. By definition, this innovation has two components: the invention of the (Joint), and the implementation (implementation), in which each component consists of four segments.
Creativity - Generating new ideas
Vision - Knowing where you want to get with it
Commitment - Mobilizing to get there
Manajamen - Planning and working to get there
Innovation begins to run from the exploration to find something new in the form of a device without leaving the old is still good. Does not stop at finding better ideas, innovations such as the next step requires the implementation of reality-testing. In the case of Intel, Grove it with courage term experiment. Reasonable given the supplement daring experimentation because most have a high risk of failure in practice, so many people say NO to fear innovation because the risk receive it.
In addition to risk failure, obstacles in the level of concepts, practices, strategies, technical, self and others also frequently appear. To create a solution that is required, then the creativity of innovator role. Creativity solution is realized in the form of a number of alternative solutions to the situation in a way to change, combine, cleft destruktif identify something that's already well-established (established). According to scientific research, the quantity alternative solutions have correlation with the quality of the solution. So creativity is based on having the ability to see patterns in the new relationship between an object that was born from the point of view of the 'possibility', and the things to get better answers. A creativity expert, Arthur Koestler, said: "Every creative act involve a new perception of the innocent, liberated from cataract of accepted belief."
In the creativity to create solutions, innovator needs to have the ability to set the lights on the vision that is - having clear sense of direction. This means, such as whether the form of innovation that is clearly seen by imagination innovator? The obvious goal of a physical innovation can be witnessed by mental vision, it will increasingly become the object of one or intact. Back on the knowledge of the mind that if new work will focus on the whole object, if the object is still not known split, with the mind itself choose to dwell or disorderly. How mengutuhkan target object in connection with this visualization capability?
Referring to the opinion Shakti Gawain in "Creative Visualization" (Creating Strategies Inc..: 2002), the innovator needs to go through four stages of the process for menajamkan vision, namely:
Having a clear goal
Having a clear mental portrait of a desired object
Own resilience against the concentration of the object or purpose
Having energy, thoughts, positive confidence
At the top of all components and segments on top, the spirit of innovation is a commitment to distinguish between the 'make or let things happen'. Innovation requires a commitment to 'make', not let the bright idea to find its own way in the field. Commitment is refused the various' excuses' that is not required by the innovation. The show must go on. Ralp Marlstone quoted opinions on the commitment said: "You can not create 'living' only with ideas, creativity, vision, but 'you must live' with them". Senada with Ralp, Joel Barker said: "Vision with action can change the world" .
Running innovative ideas as a comprehensive understanding of the principles of management applications, which means using resources outside of our strength as based on the real balance between the size of planning and ability of working. Without a management application, resources are abundant in the out there can not be useful or even resistor or futile. One of the management expertise is communication. Unimaginable if not offset any cooperation with the communication skills required. Another example that illustrates the importance of balance in the running of innovation is a phenomenon disappointment or failure of cooperation proposals. From the point of ideas, creativity, vision, everything is bright. But once it was agreed to run, it appeared that there were still many holes that have not been slit or are outside the capacity of each party to create a solution. Or in other words more gede planning for success instead of working ability for success.
Reason
Find the reasons why we feel it necessary to run innovative ideas to improve the life of individuals and organizations is an important part of the innovation before it is executed. Some of the reasons that could be described as follows:
1. Changes
This world will not vary with the changes that take for granted will occur. Any changes in external demand accuracy choose the appropriate response at the internal level. This is the choice of the life that must be held. Unfortunately, often found that people are more interested to discuss the progress made changes to the outside world without at the same time with strong keingian to change themselves. Resistance to change attitudes that rage on this particular deal will usher in a position as a victim of the age change or do not get benefit from the progress.
Trivial example is control of a foreign language, say English. First to be harmonious in the sense of the profession or rungan apart from a profession. But now can not be denied entry requirements have become the gate of the means must be owned by all candidates for the profession. Anticipate demand changes the outside world, ensuring that the shield is a learning institution established in us. The material can be adopted from anywhere depending on the needs and capabilities based on the demand environment in which we live.
2. Limited
Themselves must make innovation diberangkatkan's understanding that the man has the ability but not limited to the restrictions created their own (self - fulfilling prophecy). Relation to the innovation is, our capacity constraint is the picture of life, and innovation is required in order to broaden the picture of restraint. In addition to the understanding of the needs in the no less important role "pill" that the injected by outside parties, although in a bid to vote. Praktekknya few people who does not believe the 'figure hidup' its drinking after pill increases the understanding of the figures believed more reliable, such as Paranormal, shaman, advisers, consultants, friends carib, etc..
Pill understanding from the outside that this is by Dale Carnegie called Expert Group Think. During the pill was given a miracle pill, of course, would be needed because people by nature are very sensitive to the understanding of other people about himself. Thus the unfortunate is that the pill form of stigma killer ago received raw, such as: surely fail, it's difficult, etc. may not like. Therefore, leave a Mark Twain: "Keep yourself from the group of people or communities that make your ambition to decrease the time normally taken by a dwarf."
3. Gap
Other reasons why innovation is needed in form of a natural reality gap between the reality and nature idealitas. Existence of natural facts must be proved with the improvement in the level of reality and change the format of nature idealitas. As the proverb says, "Hang citamu-ideals in the sky but do not forget to set your feet the earth." That is, continue to create a standard that is higher than that can be optimal. Can be, if all men enough 'berpuas-self', with what is in the 'low quality', then surely made progress difficult. Besides, people will be easier for the virus infected despair, thinking only one answer, which means that the perfectionist be incompatible with the basic principles of innovation.
Dodged difficult, the fact is there is a tendency konformitas a culture of fear psychological desire for a high dijustifikasi realistic thinking patterns by false in the sense not reflect the spirit of self-development towards the better. Appropriate, realistic thinking meant tread on reality, not vice versa in the living reality. Based on the understanding that this is different then going a different reality. Vehicles that run on the road can be directed to go but even when the sink in the mud, the options only dientaskan up.
Please note that all the reasons already mentioned above is based on: 1) the perspective that life is a process, and 2) the Learning Principle which is the effort to develop the ability of potential assets into current assets. Therefore, other personal reasons, whatever we have, the charges remain on the most important reasons that have found a strong correlation to the action that has access to change the situation. Once the situation can be changed to better means we have melangkahkan feet on the final goal of innovation, which means early start for any other changes to improve the direction. That is the process. Hopefully useful. (Jp)
