Linda A. Hill

And she recently won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Institute for Management Studies.

It's my pleasure and honor to welcome Dr. Linda A. Hill.

I am Stuart Paap, founder of DN8, and welcome to Stand Up to Stand Out, the podcast.

Communication has changed my life and it will absolutely change yours because breakthrough innovating deserves breakthrough communicating.

There's research on this.

Linda Hill at Harvard Business School has spent years studying what actually happens to people in their first year as a manager.

And one of the biggest myths that she found is that new managers think that their authority comes from the position, from the title here, okay? And what they figure out, usually the hard way, unfortunately, is that it doesn't.

It comes from credibility.

But I am a strong advocator of this collective vision making.

And I've taken this from Linda Hill at Harvard Business School, where she already more than 10 years ago wrote a book called collective genius and she was arguing based on research that those companies that really are innovative and creative time and time again are the companies that have collective vision making rather than an individual leader creating a vision.

So I am a strong believer in that.

But of course, when we talk about big corporations with tens of thousands of people, there needs to be some sort of hybrid.
