Abstract
Leadership is critical to the success of any establishment. The exploration of innovative leadership as one of the 21st leadership precisely depicts the significance of leadership in the organization framework. This type of leader is an evangelist of change and a risk-taker. However, these qualities are the recipe for incoordination if the organization members fail to align with the leader’s vision.

Such narratives inspire this leader to invest more in research and innovation, executed to dominate the industry’s future. Thus, the innovative leader is an evangelist of change.
Although exhaustive research is a critical pillar of innovation, sometimes quick strategic decisions do not allow for much research work and test runs. Such an aspect creates the concept of risk-taking that entails decision-making with uncertain outcomes. Thus, it is distressing for any organization because of the actual probability of attracting losses. In this case, the innovative leaders should persuade their organizations to tread uncertain paths.
