Creative Leadership skills are soft in nature; they’re often comprehended best via the stories of leaders fighting the good fight on the frontlines. By sharing the wisdom of successful creative leaders we hope to inspire you to become better stewards of your company’s greatest asset: employee creativity!
What is Creative Leadership?
Warren Bennis said, “There are two ways of being creative. One can sing or dance. Or one can create the conditions in which singers and dancers flourish.” Creative Leadership is all about creating the conditions for others to flourish creatively. The challenge for today’s executive is that they’re used to outsourcing creative projects to external agencies—now they must create and nurture a culture that promotes innovation. If leaders don’t walk the talk or lead appropriately, they will quickly shut down employee engagement. Join us for each episode and learn how to unleash your employee’s latent creativity!
