What’s the role of leadership in this?

Leadership is terribly important because when we say that innovation is a partnership between a dedicated team and the performance engine, the leader has to make sure that this partnership is healthy, since there are natural points of conflict. The performance engine is all about routine and predictability; the dedicated team is all about being nonroutine and unpredictable. So, if you’re trying to make these two things work together, there are going to be conflicts.

One way to avoid conflicts is to keep the two groups separate—that’s the skunkworks approach—but that loses the advantage of the established business. So keeping them together and managing them creatively, that’s the role of the leader.
