OUTLOOK BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT’S VISIONARY LEADER AWARDS 2023

Mr. Hari Shankar believes that an innovative leader must possess a range of skills to effectively address the idea of innovation. They should have the ability to generate insight and knowledge through non-traditional approaches like experimentation, improvisation, and rapid prototyping. Critical thinking skills are crucial for meticulous problem-solving and risk management. Additionally, a leader should be able to identify unnoticed opportunities and drive growth by delivering new products and value to customers.
