A leader must be competent in the innovation process, especially within a team. They must lead with impact, influence, and inspiration. These traits will transform the productivity of any team. Influencing a team to become increasingly passionate will encourage them to be more free-thinking and draw inspiration from those around them. Inspiring employees leads to impactful performance.
