What do love, belief and mindfulness have to do with
innovation? According to P&G's Karen Hershenson, everything.
In order to create the conditions for successful innovation,
you must shift your focus from what you are doing to who you need to become.
With characteristics like empathy and emotional intelligence being heralded as
the next generation of leadership traits, women are poised to become the
leaders to deliver breakthrough innovations, highly effective teams and
transformed individuals.
