This book explores the question of how innovations in companies can arise through productive thinking and successful problem-solving, and what role leadership can play in this process. It primarily focuses on how innovations are developed by employees and leaders and what contributions they can make. From this perspective, the following questions arise: How can emerging problems, such as ineffective processes or unclear workflows, be resolved by employees and leaders in changing environmental conditions? What theoretical approaches can be applied to this? What specifically happens during productive thinking and the problem-solving process in the minds of employees and leaders? What conditions need to be in place from a leadership perspective so that the daily work routine does not take precedence?.
