Organizations need innovators to help solve complex business problems, create new business models and develop growth strategies. Innovators do not grow on trees; so finding, recruiting and hiring them can be a bit tricky.
Leaders should keep their eyes open for innovators and hire them even if they don’t have an open position.
Here are 5 traits of an innovator (be on the lookout):
1. Innovators are optimistic.
2. Innovators are natural problem solvers.
3. Innovators are not afraid to take a chance on unproven innovation.
4. Innovators are resilient and bounce back in the face of adversity.
5. Innovators understand complex problems can be solved using a strategic solution process.
The best leaders add innovators to the team, whether they have an open position or not.
