5 Characteristics That Define Successful Innovators:

There is no consensus when it comes to what makes a successful innovator. A certain degree of creativity is a requirement, that’s for sure, but the exact characteristics can vary from industry to industry, person to person. Here are five ingredients we think make for a successful innovator:

1. Sensing opportunity - As it so happens, successful innovators have a knack for identifying gaps in the market they operate in.
2. Proper Training & Education - Contrary to popular belief and a few successful examples, college dropouts do not make for great innovators. Well-trained experts with formal education, years of training, and experience do, however.
3. Proactivity & Persistence - It would only make sense that these two qualities taken together would make it on this list. As we’ve said before, creativity will only turn to innovation through execution.
4. Prudence - Another trait strongly linked to experience is prudence. Even though we like to think of innovators as risk takers, in reality, they are the exact opposite.
5. Emotional Intelligence - At times, Innovators are portrayed as individualistic geniuses and independent spirits that come up with all sorts of revolutionary ideas on their own.
