The most effective leaders foster innovation by prioritizing three key practices: collaboration, discovery-driven learning, and integrative decisions.

• Collaboration is essential because innovation arises from the interplay of diverse ideas, perspectives, and expertise.
• Discovery-driven learning means staying curious and flexible, learning as you explore new ideas or test solutions.
• Integrative decision-making involves balancing multiple perspectives to create the best possible outcome.

At its core, every good idea tells a story, and those stories improve when shared, challenged, and refined through collective effort.
