Whether they do it out of fear or complacency, the CEOs who continue to operate within their “four walls” — who refuse to look to external sources to help drive innovation — will increasingly find themselves out of a job.
Simply put, boards are no longer hesitating to oust CEOs who aren’t forward-thinking. Even if profits are fine and cash is fluid. So, how does a CEO (or rising CEO) innovate? They need to go beyond paying lip service to it. They need to treat their business not as a singular entity, but as a larger ecosystem that actively seeks collaboration. They need to incentivize the rank-and-file to think outside the box — to think of new ideas and new ways to do business.
