This document discusses innovation leadership and how leaders can foster innovation within their organizations. It makes three key points:
1. Innovation is crucial for organizations to adapt to today's uncertain environment, but traditional business thinking is not enough. Leaders need innovative thinking skills to solve complex problems.
2. These innovative thinking skills include paying attention, personalizing, imaging, serious play, collaborative inquiry, and crafting. Experimenting with these skills can help reframed challenges and develop a deeper understanding of customers.

From Organizational to Community Creativity: Paragon Leadership & Creativity ...Tyler Pace
With the rise of massive scale, globally distributed creative communities, such as Deviant Art, Etsy, and Minecraft, the role of creative leadership in sociotechnical systems is worth investigating. This paper presents a case study of one strategy Etsy, one such online creative community, uses to articulate the creative dispositions of the community’s ex-emplar members: Featured Seller interviews. For this study, we report on a combined content analysis and close reading of Featured Seller interviews on Etsy.com, followed up with member check interviews. Our analysis highlights the demographics of featured sellers, the ways in they express their identities and creative processes, and how they posi-tion themselves within the broader Etsy community. Our findings demonstrate that Etsy’s administrators provide both a platform and scaffolding for community leaders to co-articulate with them the creative ideals they believe will strengthen the bonds of the Etsy community.
Supporting Self-Organization in Politics by the Semantic Web TechnologiesVáclav Belák
The document discusses supporting self-organization in politics through semantic web technologies.

Organizational culture plays a vital role in encouraging innovation and creativity. It determines how employees solve problems, interact with customers, and treat each other. There are different types of organizational culture like hierarchy, market, clan, and adhocracy that emphasize factors such as stability/flexibility and internal/external focus. NIIT's culture focuses on quality, creativity, and customer satisfaction. It operates with task teams and emphasizes team culture and openness. NIIT has sustained its culture through induction, socialization, reinforcement, and concern for customers.
Power and politics are intertwined in organizations. Power refers to one's authority and influence over others, which can derive from formal positions, control over rewards or resources, expertise, or personal qualities that inspire respect. Politics involve using social networks and influence to benefit oneself or one's interests within an organization. While politics can decrease job satisfaction and productivity if used negatively, some level of politics is necessary for leaders to gain power and accomplish goals, as long as it is practiced ethically. An organization needs both power and politics to provide direction, structure, and assistance to employees, but these forces must be balanced and not allow manipulation or other unethical behaviors.

1) Organizational culture and behavior are influenced by the social systems and relationships between individuals within an organization. When a new person joins an organization, they become part of this social system.
2) An organization's culture is important because it defines the organization's vision and provides stability, influencing worker behavior and relationships. During hiring, employers consider whether a candidate is a good cultural fit.
3) Socialization of workers involves learning the norms of the social group and playing the expected roles. This shapes a worker's personality and influences them to cooperate as team members to achieve success.
