What is Innoveadership

Chapter 21
Encyclopedia of Strategic Leadership and Management
The term combines leadership and innovation with an attempt to emphasize how these two concepts are intertwined and inseparable. Innovation bears more than a passing resemblance to introducing new implementations to organizational work processes for effectiveness or launching a new product into the market. Innovation is an evolutionary process through which organizational capabilities advance an unprecedented superior level of value creation. Leadership is the nucleus of innovation, which is exempt from personal traits. Leadership is embedded in every social interaction on intra-organizational and inter-organizational scale that catalyzes the emergence of innovation.

Abstract
Scholars in the field of management studies are not reticent about how lively is the correlation between leadership and innovation. Given the pervasiveness of mechanistic view of organizations in the last century, this correlation was supposed to be entertained by the leaders who possessed certain personal traits and displayed behavioral patterns relevant for their followers. However, in an age of interconnectedness, leadership calls for more than leaders are capable to afford. Leadership should be acknowledged as an inter-relational social component, which is inherently embedded in each and every social interaction in the organization. Innovation, therefore, is embodied in the sum of all the interaction. This conceptual chapter intends to merge leadership and innovation and coins the term innoveadership to demonstrate their intertwined nature. Innoveadership could be described as a conflation of constructs postulated by leading scholars in the field of leadership and management studies within the contextual climate of complexity thinking.
