idea generation and application. Overall, leaders have to walk a fine balance
between stimulating innovative behaviour and ensuring short-term effectiveness
and efficiency. Their overview also contains behaviours shown by leaders with the
explicit purpose of influencing individual innovation by communicating an attractive
vision hence it helped to guide idea generation and application behaviour in
employees.
While the study has merit, the methods need to be re-evaluated. The power
of the study needs to be increase by obtaining a larger sample size. By adding more
number of respondents in the study, the result conclude will be more accurate. The
researchers mention that the selections of the interviewee were based on the
recommendation of consultancy firm Synten to trace the suitable participants. It is
not mention here if they have specific criteria to define the “front-runners” from the
“average leader “. The recommendations were based on the strong relationship
that the consultancy have between the interviewee. How long the
managers/entrepreneur in the leadership position would greatly affect how they
responded to the question being asked, yet this was not considered in the study.
