How can management be innovative? Does it then become leadership? Where do the lines intersect between management and leadership?
Management can be innovative when they allow their team members to be empowered to make changes and accomplish tasks towards creativity and improvements of processes. Stirring away from managing it all has to go. When you empower people, you can generally expect great results and the best creativity of work.
Empowerment ties into the fact that management choosing to allow this to happen demonstrates the flexibility and trust he/she has for their team. The key thing that management needs to remember is that allowing your team to shine will allow them to shine, as well. "TEAM - Together Each Accomplishes More"
Management and Leadership intersect when integrity and trust of the team are put in place to ensure that objectives and expected outcomes are accomplished. Leadership is a trait that can be demonstrated by any member on the team to drive a project to completion and each member on the team reaps the reward. Management is in place to serve as an entity for approval and sponsorship of a project. You do have leaders in this group but, the driving force of success doesn't have to be driven from them.
