What’s the key element often forgotten by leaders when driving innovation?
In the episode of the Creator Community, we meet innovation consultant and author Matt Mueller who shares his key principles for leading and driving change.
Broad acceptance of your idea both internally and externally is critical to making it happen.
Focusing on the root of the true problem rather than pushing your solution is just one of the key lessons of today’s episode and one of the most important things leaders can do to drive true innovation and change.
Key Points
- Slowing down and thinking through the “why” of a problem will ultimately save time and iteration on the back end
- Build a better foundation before you build a tower
- SEATbelt analogy: Stop and think about the real problem, find your Emotional connection to the problem, Acknowledge the problem is real, Tell others your plan to chage
Author Bio
From a young age Matt wondered what separated people who create change from everyone else. With 8 billion people in the world how can there be so few change makers?
Obsessed with this question, Matt grew into an energetic innovator focused on helping others create change. He is an innovation consultant working with some of the world's largest brands and is a columnist for Innovation Leader. Matt has long-term experience executing strategy and facilitating change and is passionate about sharing his insights with leaders across the globe, helping them transform company culture to meet their innovation needs more purposefully.
Matt also loves spending time on one of the many local gulf beaches of Florida reconnecting to what matters most, Family.

What would happen if you chose yourself?
So often, women are taught to put others first. We are conditioned to focus on the needs of others rather than prioritizing ourselves — and we become good at it. Choosing others becomes so central to our way of being that we can build big, busy lives without ever stopping to wonder: what if I chose me?
In her mid-forties, Jeanie Duncan was a card-carrying member of the “put others first” club. Wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend — she was surrounded by people she loved and who loved her. From the outside, it was a perfect life. But over the course of a profound period of unraveling and self-realization, she discovered that she had lost herself somewhere along the way.
Check out this episode of The Creator Community to learn how to discover the path to your true self and live a self-full life.
