Abstract
This qualitative research aims 1) to study principles, concepts, theories, and research related to the innovative leadership traits for developing an innovative project for the disable and 2) to summarize the successful key factors in developing innovative policies and projects for the disable based on the innovative leadership perspective. Six leaders (3 leaders from each subdistrict) developed their own innovative policies and projects for the disable in two different subdistricts and won national awards for innovative leaderships. They also participated in the research as key informants. The data were collected through in-depth interviews based on narrative theory and were analyzed with content analysis. The research found that the key successful factors of the two innovative leaderships developing the policies and projects for the disable can be categorized as follows: 1) individual level factors, 2) team level factors, and 3) organizational level factors under the new presentation through the Innovative Leadership. It is concluded that the success is a function of the relations between informal and formal leaders with three key components: leadership, human capital, and innovation.
