However, innovation is not just limited to a select few innovators or high-level executives. It is a mindset and a skill that can be cultivated at every level of an organization. The key lies in empowering employees to think critically, challenge assumptions, and contribute their unique perspectives to the decision-making process.

Enter "Thinking at Every Desk," a groundbreaking book by Dr. Linda Hill and Dr. Chris Argyris. This thought-provoking publication provides a comprehensive roadmap for creating a culture of innovation within any organization, regardless of size or industry.

The book highlights three key pillars that underpin a culture of innovation:

  1. Psychological safety: Employees feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, ideas, and concerns without fear of judgment or retaliation.
