Abstract: Abstract How can a company adapt to an ever-changing market situation and remain innovative, yet competitive? How can an organisation use the individual strengths of its employees to create innovative products and services? The focus of this article is on the fostering role of leaders in those innovation and change processes. The reason for that role is that companies are not faceless entities, but rather collections of individual people. In the first chapter, we look at the changing competitive environment. How can the leadership of a company adjust its activities on things that really matter to adapt to those changes? In the second part, we look at a possibly necessary change in the company culture to support innovation and change. Finally, the third section will highlight the need for a more transformational-oriented leadership style to provide support for those efforts.
