: Innovation. Everyone wants it, but many companies consider it a "nice to have" rather than a "must have". Few C-suite executives openly dismiss the effort employees make to do things better and improve upon products and services, but when it comes to putting plans in motion, sometimes the follow-through isn't there. The book "Relentless Innovation: What Works, What Doesn’t ‑ And What That Means For Your Business" (McGraw-Hill Professional/available now), chronicles a "usual suspects" list of barriers for innovation. Author Jeffrey Phillips says problems could arise from poor planning, budgeting, scheduling or talent managing. Companies must embrace "breakthrough" practices as valued cornerstones of their corporate culture to overcome these obstacles. To make it all work, a perfect balance must be reached between innovation and the need to keep driving the internal operating model. Phillips leads the innovation consulting team for OVO Innovation, a consulting/training firm. For more about the book, click here. Here we look at what you want to avoid if you want to get the greatest ideas and innovations from your team.

While many questioned how the company would fare without its iconic leader, Apple continues to thrive in the post-Steve Jobs era. In its most recent quarterly earnings statement, the company reported selling more iPhones, iPads and Mac computers than in any three-month period in its history. This sales surge fueled $46.33 billion in revenue for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2011, beating analyst expectations by a whopping $7 billion. The company's success is no accident; Jobs had a clear, powerful vision that he passed on to his employees and cultivated a corporate culture that rallied around that vision. In the book Inside Apple: How America’s Most Admired—and Secretive—Company Really Works (Business Plus/available now), author Adam Lashinsky penetrates the legend of Steve Jobs and his company and breaks down the building blocks that make it all work. Lashinsky illustrates what Apple execs call the “secret sauce” – the systems, tactics and management strategies that produce hit after hit. Lashinsky is a senior editor at large for Fortune magazine and a Fox News contributor. For more about the book, click here.
