Gain inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in people. Join us at the Positive Links Speaker Series to learn from leading Positive Organizational scholars. Connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders at our receptions that immediately follow each session.

HOSTED BY: Jane Dutton, the Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor of Business Administration and Psychology at Michigan Ross

SESSION DESCRIPTION: Successful innovations begin as creative ideas, but generating good ideas is only half the battle. Leaders must also be able to identify the most promising ideas when they see them. Too often, bold new ideas are unwisely rejected. Based on recent research, this session will explore tools and strategies to help leaders become more accurate judges of novel ideas, improving their ability to spot the best ideas in their organizations.
