Abstract :
Innovations and inventions are what power
today's global economy and organizations. Any nation or
institution that falls short in these two areas is either falling
behind or on the verge of history. This essay tries to
persuade leaders, particularly those in the church, that they
can contribute to the ongoing discussion about innovation.
The leader is required to manage for creativity and
innovation. Otherwise, innovation will remain a distant goal.
Everyone has the potential to innovate; the leader's job is to
encourage this in the team.
The paper gives compelling reasons why leaders
should not slack behind the pulpit when it comes to the
issues of innovation. The article continues by demonstrating
how church leaders can encourage innovation by
recognizing the creative tendencies of the church staff, how
to cultivate creativity despite the rigidity of church
organizations, and how to better prepare church children
for creativity and innovation in a church setting.
