The Innovative Leader
How to inspire your team and drive creativity
Paul Sloane
October 22, 2007 
By Reg Nordman

I love books full of things that work! If you wanted one book to encapsulate creativity and innovation pick this one.

My bookshelf is full of most of the books Sloane references, but he compresses it down to “just what you need”. My best takeaway was the 26 ways to generate new ideas. I especially like the “Who killed our business exercise.” Clearly written, easy to read, succinct and oh so useful. If you are CEO in a fast moving industry, with youthful, brilliant people around you, this is a book you must read and use.
