      Leaders aiming to enhance innovation often undermine it instead, as their well-meaning strategies can stifle creativity and risk-taking. The book explores the paradox of leadership practices that, while intended to foster an innovative environment, result in the opposite effect. It delves into the nuances of organizational culture and the importance of allowing freedom and flexibility for true innovation to thrive. Through insights and examples, it highlights the need for a shift in leadership approaches to genuinely support and cultivate innovative thinking.
