What is needed to build a culture of motivation?
According to the video, Building Innovation Culture and Leaders, leaders must state out
loud that innovation is a priority to them which will excite and inspire employees to create new
ideas. Creative energy and motivation are fostered when employees know that leaders are
looking for new ideas and are willing to hear them out and give their ideas a chance [ CITATION

organizations motivate employees to reach beyond where they think they might go and to believe
that anything is possible [ CITATION DeV19 \l 1033 ].
How do you attract and motivate innovators?

that encourages them to be creative. Employers who want to motivate and attract innovators
must adopt a mindset that utilizes innovation as a competitive advantage [ CITATION Coo18 \l
