Question Title

* 7. Self Assessment of Attributes of Innovators-Think about areas of strength and areas you wish to develop through your work at POSTECH.

  1-Need more development 2-Need some development 3 somewhat good at it 4 Very good at it 5-This is my strongest area-strength.
a) Questioning. Innovators are questioners who show a passion for inquiry.They Ask questions to understand how things really are today, why they are that way, and how they might be changed or disrupted.
b) Observing. Innovators are also intense observers. They carefully watch the world around them—including customers, products, services, technologies, and companies—and the observations help them gain insights
c) Networking. Innovators spend a lot of time and energy finding and testing ideas through a diverse network of individuals who vary wildly in their backgrounds and perspectives.
d) Experimenting. Finally, innovators are constantly trying out new experiences and piloting new ideas. Experimenters unceasingly explore the world intellectually and experientially. They visit new places, try new things, seek new information, and experiment to learn new things.
e) Persistent: Innovators are never above a task, they are hardworking, persistent and willing to do “whatever-it-takes” to get things done.
f) Committed to learning: Innovators step in and participate and they continually seek knowledge.
g) Visionary: Innovators are highly imaginative, maintain a future orientation, and think in mental pictures.
h) Celebrate diversity: Innovators choose to work with a purposeful and diverse collection of people and are not afraid to disagree.
i) Flexible/Adaptable: Innovators can handle uncertainty, initiate new projects and are able to adjust the “game plan” as needed.
j) Listen: Innovators are open to input from all parties, learn quickly from feedback and take them on board in the outcome.
k) Take Risks: They go beyond their comfort zone, have courage and take calculated risks.
l) Fail: Innovators are not afraid to fail. They bounce back from disappointment and try again.
m) Desire for Improvement: Innovators respond to deep inner needs, increase efficiencies, and offer enhanced experiences to improve processes for a better return on investment.
n)Social mind with Interest in public benefit: the innovator pursues and promotes public interest.
o)Open mind with professional ethics and Integrity: When the innovator realizes his/her mistake, the innovator swallows pride in public and self-correct oneself instead of trying to justifying it.
