What type of person excels in the Develop Stage, Stage 3 of the innovation continuum? This is Ron Price, co-author of The Innovator’s Advantage. The stage of development requires somebody with great skills in futuristic thinking, creativity, resiliency. They’ll need to be self-starting and flexible. They will need planning and organizing skills and good problem-solving skills. They’ll need to be receptive and open to new ideas, new ways of doing things. And oftentimes they will excel in this stage if they have more of a commanding presence, a desire to be in charge—that desire for status or prestige or recognition or to be able to control their own destiny. Behavioral traits of a person in this stage include competitiveness, the drive to win, a sense of urgency, and the leadership style for a person in this stage is the conductor, a person who’s focused on bottom-line results. They will focus on practical results and changing or adapting systems to create those results and organizing people when those people will help them get results. This is the type of person who excels in the Develop Stage, Stage 3 of The Innovator’s Advantage. So until next time, keep innovating!
