Here's how you can ignite innovation and creativity in your organization.
John Cleese has done some wonderful talks on this topic, see YouTube. But to summarize, the best way to create, inspire, and rise above is through playing. Not to make childish or to oversimplify, but to make what are doing fun again. Removing the “ick” is a great first start - what do we all hate? - and make it better.

Leaders must create safety both systemically (e.g. resilience, telemetry) and psychological safety (e.g. learning culture, persistent teams). There should be many components at the strategic and tactical levels, including process automation, toil reduction, transparency via observability, and demonstrated cultural norms & expectations of performance and acceptable behaviors. Ideally with a transformational leader, servant leader, or authentic leader that has a shared vision which includes respect and reflects shared values and value definitions. This last bit has varied widely with varying results, with more dependency on the people involved than any other factor.
