Common understanding of the proposed vision for the future by all employees Inspiring vision, causing the employees willing to work to achieve it Changes that create value for all stakeholders - not only for shareholders Vision that can be specified for different units/processes/functions 12

13 Leadership: Vision, Inspiration & Integrity Leader (employee) understands and shares the vision. What can he/she do to achieve it? The right to set targets for improvement Opportunity to experiment on and look for the best ways to do the work (including the right to mistake) The power to make changes to existing working procedures (including to review documents in which they are described) Opportunity to use the resources to improve their operations (financial resources, infrastructure, working time, etc.) 13

14 Leadership: Vision, Inspiration & Integrity Management through inspiration: What leaders do if they wish to implement certain changes within the organization To issue an order for mandatory transition to the new scheme of work OR Explain the purpose of changes to people To empower people to change their work To provide people with resources to change their work To provide people with knowledge they need to change the work To motivate people for searching and implementation new ways of working Which of these options can inspire employees? 14

18 Harnessing Creativity & Innovation Systematic approach to creativity and innovation Creative abilities of staff and other stakeholders - business resource of organization that is actively managed and used Ability to direct creative potential at achieving the priority goals of the organization Ensuring the emergence of creative ideas when it is necessary, where it is necessary and on the topic, which is necessary ; the use of a structured approach for these purposes At any improvements - the aspiration not to repeat the standard solutions, and to create own unique solution, which would be the hallmark and competitive advantage In many cases the task is to generate and analyze new knowledge about the process, a deeper understanding of the process 18

19 Harnessing Creativity & Innovation Improvement process Problems or possibilities for improvement Deliberated opportunities for improvement Voiced opportunities for improvement Registered opportunities for improvement Discussed opportunities for improvement Opportunities for improvement by which solution is made Opportunities for improvement by which solution is implemented Opportunities for improvement by which solution is standardized and its sustainability is ensured The process should be reliable, fast, focused on the positive and innovative solutions; appropriate procedures should be determined 19
