Deep-tech innovation, which harnesses advanced scientific understanding to create groundbreaking technologies, has seen significant growth — and investment — over the past decade. But investors and leaders who pivot into deep tech also face a steep learning curve, as it presents unique challenges: prolonged R&D periods, high upfront costs, and stringent regulatory landscapes.

T REND HUNTER CEO Jeremy Gutsche says the most important trait we need for our fast-moving future is the ability to change. He wrote Create the Future + The Innovation Handbook: Tactics for Disruptive Thinking (two books in one) to help us. “We are more dependent on our past decisions than we like to admit. Once a path is set, we often walk down it blindly, failing to question why it was put there to begin with and whether a better path might exist.

Typically, when people think of diversity, they think of physical traits such as the color of one’s skin or physical abilities/incapabilities, etc. But diversity is much more than this. It is about appreciating our differences and including others that may have a different perspective or point of view. Our experiences, upbringings, education, and so many other things shape how we think, act, and feel—all of which make us diverse.

My office thinks I insulted a coworker but I didn’t mean it like that I work for a small nonprofit. I have one boss and about 14 coworkers with whom I’m “office friendly,” meaning I don’t socialize outside of work/discuss personal matters.

Stepping into a new leadership role can be both exciting and challenging. As you take on new responsibilities, expectations, and challenges, it’s natural to feel a mix of enthusiasm and apprehension. The transition period is crucial, as it sets the tone for your leadership style and the impact you’ll have on your team and the organization as a whole.

Managers often make a costly mistake in leaving high performers to perform at their maximum capacity without support, choosing to instead devote their time and attention to underperformers. In doing so, though, these high performers are often left feeling overlooked and neglected. Contrary to popular belief, high performers need just as much attention as underperformers — just not in the same way.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

In today’s highly charged, often-divided workplace, the ability to navigate conflicts constructively has become a critical leadership competency. Rather than viewing discord as something to be avoided at all costs. The most effective leaders understand that skillfully resolving tensions can be a catalyst for deepening trust. This approach also boosts collaboration and drives innovation.

Most companies are full of really busy people, which makes it hard to slow down and focus on trying new things. At the same time, stopping everything to focus on innovation can leave day-to-day tasks neglected. So, how can leaders make sure workers are able to balance operational necessities with innovation? Four strategies can help: 1) Clearing the “process debt” that’s blocking innovation time; 2) Subtracting something old before you add something new; 3) Putting innovation at the top of the l
