Personal Innovation

I have been researching the topic "Innovation" for sometime and use many references, techniques & tools at my work.

From these experiences for the past 20+ years of working for many managers and observing many leaders from close quarters, realized that these techniques could be applied to an individual's aspirations to redefine, to think differently, try new things to "Re-innovate", to move up in the corporate ladder.

In the coming days, I intend to blog about these findings under "Personal Innovation".

First, let us look at capabilities we need to excel in work:

• Academic Capabilities
• Professional Capabilities
• Cognitive Capabilities
• Emotional Capabilities

These skills come handy as you grow in roles and ranks in your career.

While the graph may not be accurate, as you move up managerial positions, cognitive and emotional skills become necessary to be successful, while academic and professional capabilities are taken for granted.

PS: If you do not agree to the "spiritual" aspect, you could replace it with "self realization"
