Description

"Clever, insightful, page-turner--and very applicable! In the business world where differences are celebrated, or at least should be, it behooves us to understand practical approaches to resolve issues or simply see things from another perspective. 'Creativity Meets Leadership' could easily be 'Leadership Meets Creativity' because the great advice in this book goes both ways."

Creative people are often misunderstood by the logically-minded people who lead them and the co-workers with whom they work--they speak a different language, and it is centered on imagination. Creatives are looked upon as "flighty" dreamers with an endless supply of harebrained ideas. Leaders, on the other hand, are typically viewed as inflexible dictators who like to play it safe by avoiding things that don't come with a guarantee; they tend to choose logic over creativity. The interesting thing is that EVERYONE is innately creative. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

We are all born with a love for crayons, building blocks, exploration, etc. We start life with an insane amount of curiosity asking "why?" in almost every conversation we are in. Unfortunately, our creative nature tends to get stifled by our educational system where gold stars are not handed out if you color outside the lines. We quickly learn through academic classes like science and math that there is only one correct answer for every problem, and even more so, there is only one correct way to solve for the correct answer. After spending so much time getting jammed into a box, we find ourselves spending the rest of our lives trying to get out of it; that is, of course, except for the creative types who buck the system because they have an unbridled desire to freely explore beyond the boundaries of the acceptable.

This book showcases 100 carefully selected words which are critical to the success of both creative people and those individuals who are in positions of leadership. Every defined word is accompanied by a story which will help you gain greater understanding of its importance. Immediately thereafter, you will see two sections where the author provides advice for your consideration. The sections are entitled: For Leaders, and For Creatives. As you read the book, you will be encouraged to consider the information in both areas since all leaders should be more creative, and all creatives should work to step up, and into, leadership roles. There are times when the advice is a word of caution so you can side-step some of the messes the author unfortunately had to go through. There are other times when the advice will sound more like a word of encouragement for the value you bring to the table. In either case, do your best to see where you can immediately apply the information, and then look to see where you need to stretch yourself a bit and grow.
