Why, despite all the efforts and the hype about the importance of innovation, its employees bring new ideas yet? It scares them.
After surveying hundreds of employees, from managers to retailers, Feirong Yuan of the University of Kansas and Richard W. Woodman Texas A & M found that concern about the "risks of image" (social impressions unfavorable) decrease the ability to innovate workers.
people whose role in the company does not explicitly require that innovate, they believe their colleagues will think negatively about them if they suggest better ways of doing things. In some cases, fear of provoking anger among the others who are comfortable with the status quo.
But leaders can have a major impact on this problem. The perception that there is organizational support for innovation, significantly reduces the perceived risk of employees. The key is to create a sense of psychological safety: provide an environment in which the differences are tolerated and people will feel free to address problems in new ways.
