How many times have you launched a new change initiative with high hopes, only to see it fizzle out months later? How many employee engagement programs have you invested in, with little to show for it in measurable results? How much have you spent on new technologies or systems that are barely being used by your teams?
I’ve seen it firsthand, in organizations of all sizes and across all industries. The cycle of frustration is real: leaders invest time, money, and resources in efforts to improve performance, only to be met with resistance, disengagement, and ultimately, disappointing outcomes.
The problem isn’t a lack of effort; it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of how to drive real, lasting change. It is not about another program; it is about tapping a powerful resource you already have, your employees. It is about respecting their knowledge and empowering them to act.
That’s why I wrote Ideas to Action: Unlock Your Organization’s Hidden Genius for Igniting Innovation and Accelerating Results. This book is a practical guide—a proven system applied for three decades across diverse industries by thousands of leaders —for tapping into the power of employee-powered innovation. It’s about equipping your workforce to become active drivers of change, turning their insights into tangible, measurable results.
The Problem: The Untapped Potential
Many organizations struggle to truly engage their employees. They roll out the latest digital collaboration tools, run engagement surveys, and launch improvement teams. But these efforts often fall short. Why? Because they lack a system – a structured process for capturing, evaluating, and implementing employee ideas, and they fail to address the fundamental human need for respect and empowerment. The results:
- Missed Opportunities: Valuable insights go unheard and unheeded.
- Disengagement: Employees feel their voices don’t matter.
- Stagnation: Innovation slows, and the organization falls behind.
The Solution: Employee-Powered Innovation
Ideas to Action provides the solution. It’s not about simply collecting ideas; it’s about creating a culture where employees are empowered to act on them. It’s about fostering:
- Intrinsic Motivation: Connecting employees to a sense of purpose and ownership.

- Continuous Improvement: Creating a system for ongoing innovation, not just one-off initiatives.
