Innovation in the world of LinkedIn
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2024 4:50 am
Today, the title alone is not enough. On LinkedIn, many people put “manager,” but there are many managers. Feel free to put what really makes you different.
If we don't innovate, no one will innovate for us. What do you recommend for innovating on LinkedIn?
Anyone can innovate. A motto I recommend for LinkedIn is oman number to lose shame. There are many ways to innovate in the way we do things. People believe that because they have a limited position they cannot innovate, they cannot influence the creation of a new product or service within the organization. And that is a lie. Absolutely everyone within the company can innovate in the things we do.
Why don't you tell us a little bit about your book? It's very revealing, and it made me understand a lot about LinkedIn.
One differential aspect of my book “The Secret of Innovation” is that I divide it into three parts. First, the secret of innovative minds: how we must prepare our minds, unlearn many things we learned at home, at university, in order to be able to vote against the mistakes we commonly make when innovating. Second, preparing my talent and how to select it, how to create a culture of innovation, how to design a tailor-made innovation system for my company. Finally, the method, on which most of the book focuses.
A topic that you touch on a lot in your book, which interested me a lot, is that of reciprocity.
I believe that innovation is more mental than anything else, and in order to innovate we have to sell very psychological and cultural themes and human influence, and that is why I bring up themes like the book Influence , which is a spectacular book that talks about the seven laws of human influence, and the first of these laws is the law of reciprocity. Why do I talk about this? Because the only way to innovate is by collaborating, and if I do not achieve that culture of collaboration within my company and in my environment, I will probably have many problems to innovate no matter how innovative I am individually.
I will never surpass a group's capacity to innovate. And if it is a heterogeneous group, the innovative potential grows in the variety of my relationships and my environments and my knowledge. Sometimes sowing a culture of collaboration is very complex because we have been taught that we must be the best, so we have to compete to be the best.
Dare to innovate in LinkedIn content
What can we do to overcome the fear of publishing? What suggestions do you have in this regard?
The only way to lose your fear of something is to dare to do it. It's like when we're children and we're going to jump off a two or three metre diving board, then we take our time, we stand on the edge until someone comes along and pushes us, and the second time it's not so hard. Everything is difficult before it becomes easy. For a newborn child, crawling is very difficult until they learn.
So, we have to dare not to think too much, without being crazy and taking excessive risks. The moment I dare and am aware that if I fail I lose absolutely nothing, I will lose the fear of failing and thus I will dare to do new things every time.
