ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the Total Innovation Management Excellence (TIME) – Innovative Executive Leadership. Innovative Executive Leadership is a building block in the TIME pyramid for a very good reason. The truly innovative executive leadership team will know that this is fundamentally flawed. Failure is not a career path for anyone. The concept of rewards can take many forms and executive leadership should direct appropriate amounts of their time to be creative, and develop and deliver creative reward options that support the innovation vision and specific innovation goals. Creative leadership is a bit newer. While there are many theories about leadership, the concept of creative leadership as used is that form of leadership that combines the best of creativity with the necessary facts, demand requirements, and daily chores of running a business of any kind.
