China's business landscape in 2025 is unforgiving—consumer spending is down, competition is fiercer than ever, and companies face a brutal reality: adapt or die. The old playbooks aren't working, traditional marketing approaches are falling flat, and while everyone knows they need to change, most don't know what to do or how to do it. In this environment, the difference between companies that thrive and those that merely survive comes down to one thing: innovative leadership that can actually navigate the messy, uncomfortable process of transformation in real-time. Today, we're diving deep into what it takes to transition into your innovative superpowers with Nishtha Mehta, a sought-after international change facilitator and ICF PCC innovation coach who has been helping Fortune 500 companies and startups do exactly that for the past two decades from her base in Shanghai.
1. What have you observed about different cultural approaches to innovation?
2. What makes a successful transition from leader to innovative leader?
3. What triggers innovation?
4. How do you introduce innovation thinking to companies?
5. Introducing innovative change through melting, mounting, and mating
6. How much do you change or morph into someone else?
7. What goes about creating collaborations to impact innovation?
8. How can leaders effectively shed their existing responsibilities to avail themselves to innovation?
9. How resourceful do you need to be to embrace someone else's innovation?
10. How does the model work for a start-up? Start by envisioning failure.
11. Will fear of failure result in inaction?
12. Your phrase, "committing to uncomfortable" - Any advice for new jobbers?
13. Who inspires you?
