Congratulations to my NCOIC colleague and dear friend Melvin Greer on his impressive WashingtonExec interview.
A senior
fellow and chief strategist at Lockheed Martin, Mel has more than 29
years’ experience in systems and software engineering and is a
recognized expert in Service Oriented Architecture, Cloud Computing and
Predictive Analytics. His research fields include Nanotechnology,
Synthetic Biology and Gamification. His new book,
“21st Century Leadership: Harnessing Innovation, Accelerating Business Success” is book
centered on leadership and its relationship to business. Mel also leads
The Greer Institute,
a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank. The institute is organized for
educational research and scientific application of Greer’s theories on
leadership and innovation and addresses society’s related problems.
In the interview, Mel explains the tight linkage between innovative leaders and the development of a strong workforce. He also addresses how future leaders are developed via a robust
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and arts (STEAM)
pipeline. In the book, he drills down to illuminate what makes leaders so good
at innovation and talent, and describes how to move an innovation
strategy from “chasing shiny objects” to a powerful, sustainable
cultural change and create a magnet for great talent.
