When it comes to Innovation, even top CEOs often fell short of the task. The reasons for such failure are that they often fail to understand that innovation does not mean individualism. Good results are often derived with interactive participation rather than going for it all alone.

You need to listen to all, whether superiors, colleagues, or subordinates and above all your clients with open mind to be a good CEO. Always try to think about a problem or issue keeping yourself in their place. The most important part, as any Book for CEOs will tell you, is to pass no judgment while listening to all of them.

An avid listener can learn much more and profit from the suggestions and discussions in comparison to one that passes comments every now and then because the speaker will be more open having no fear of being commented upon adversely. In the process it will open up new avenues for innovation using the age old methods of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.

Your objective in all these processes is to get connected to the experiences of those who are coming up with it and not to just impose your own judgment or views on them. Most of the writings of Top CEO Coach like Mike Myatt will tell you to follow this golden rule. In this way you can learn how others are motivated and how people differ from each other even when they are similar.

That would be an invaluable knowledge for effective CEO performances.
