Promoting innovation is not without its challenges. Some common obstacles include:
- Resistance to Change: Employees and even leaders may resist changes due to fear of the unknown or comfort with the status quo. - Limited Resources: Innovation often requires investment in terms of time, money, and effort. Limited resources can hinder the ability to innovate. - Lack of Organizational Support: If the organizational culture does not support innovation, efforts may be stifled. Leaders need to actively promote and reward innovative thinking.
