Magnate View magazine has named our founder Jeff Roberts to their list of Top 5 Exceptional Leaders to Follow for 2024 and put him on the cover for their edition. Their editorial staff interviewed Jeff and posted an article about his views on the impact that leadership has on innovation.
Jeff was extremely happy to have been honored, saying “I’m humbled by the award, as there are so many outstanding leaders out there, and I really appreciated the opportunity to highlight the importance of leadership to innovation. Many people believe that innovation is mainly a technical challenge, and certainly there is technical knowledge required to know what’s possible, and the best course to chart to achieve it. But to me, leadership is the more critical ingredient to real innovation, and the one which most often makes the difference between success and failure in leading-edge work. Particularly on that leading edge, there are no proven solutions or examples on which to base a design or vision; that makes the composition and culture of the team so critical. You need the right brains engaged, and you need them working together in a supportive high-performance mode; that’s where servant leadership makes a huge difference.”
