Leading Edge 
  • 4 ways to start a revolution
    Revolution is in the air, and it's surprisingly easy for bosses to tap into that spirit to create positive change, writes Mike Figliuolo. Start by identifying a problem worth solving, rally people to your cause, and then find a spark that will spur them to action. "Are you willing to lead the next revolution? Because there are plenty of causes in need of a leader like you," Figliuolo writes. ThoughtLeaders blog (10/17) LinkedInFacebookTwitterEmail this Story
  • Stop expecting your workers to behave rationally
    Employees are irrational, and smart bosses take full advantage of their workers' cognitive quirks. For example, research shows that small, unexpected rewards are bigger motivators than big, predictable ones, and that participatory decision-making is much more effective than giving direct orders. "Leaders can leverage social-science research about decision-making to motivate employees more effectively," write Carolyn Dewar and Scott Keller.

Strategic Management 
  • Has your company got game?
    Gamification is the hot new strategy for engaging customers, and companies like Microsoft and Home Depot are trying to get in on the action. Putting together a successful game-based business or marketing strategy isn't easy. "It's very much like the Wild West," says Brayden Olson, founder of Novel Inc. "There's gold out there, gold for anyone, but a lot of companies are not going to find it." CNNMoney.com/Fortune (10/17) LinkedInFacebookTwitterEmail this Story
Innovation and Creativity 
  • How Zingerman's Deli serves up constant innovation
    You can be creative without having an innovation program in place, says Ari Weinzweig, co-founder of Zingerman's Delicatessen in Ann Arbor, Mich. The key is to foster a culture of creativity and self-improvement at all levels of your organization. "For us, I think innovation is basically like showing up for work -- you just get here and, in essence, it's just part of what you do all day," he says.

  • It's time to stop ignoring your workers' ideas
    Studies show that the average U.S. worker's ideas are acted upon only once every six years, but some companies are trying to buck that trend. Nuclear utility Bruce Power has ATM-style "idea kiosks" scattered around its plants, at which workers can submit ideas and vote on suggestions from colleagues. "It's like the American Idol of ideas," says CEO Duncan Hawthorne. The Wall Street Journal (tiered subscription model) (10/17) LinkedInFacebookTwitterEmail this Story
  • How RIM fell prey to the "innovator's dilemma"
    Research in Motion suffers from the "innovator's dilemma," focusing on easy profit rather than chasing new opportunities for growth, writes Stephen Wunker. That left iPhones and Android to seize market share from BlackBerrys, and it would take a major strategic shift by RIM to regain the initiative. Forbes (10/17) LinkedInFacebookTwitterEmail this Story
The Global Perspective 
  • Immelt: GE could look outside U.S. for next CEO
    General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt's successor might not be an American. A global vision and an ability to identify good products and technologies will be GE's top criteria for choosing its next CEO, Immelt said. "There is a list of people that are non-U.S. citizens that could run this company some day," he said. "We've got a very good, global leadership team."
