The Gallup Management Journal recently published an article on what drives innovation in organizations. Shelley Mika disentangles innovation from creativity and identifies four driving principles of innovation, based on discussions with key thinkers and leaders. All four principles are focused on people:

1. “Finding and fostering talent” — people settle where their talent is similar to others
2. “Managers matter” — and are necessary for the cultivation of talent
3. “Relationships matter too” — positive relationships foster innovation
4. “Keeping the right leaders” — both thought leadership and people leadership are important
