Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel Session
CREATIVE leaders empower and motivate their teams to solve complex problems in rapidly changing environments. They create cultures where novel solutions are possible. They help reframe challenges as opportunities and encourage a culture of risk taking. CREATIVE leaders support individuals in reaching beyond organizational silos, encouraging collaboration and idea-sharing with others. In enabling creative cultures, creative leaders are Curious, Resilient, Empathetic, Authentic, Thoughtful, Inclusive, Vulnerable, and Emotionally Intelligent (CREATIVE), allowing them to affirm others in a way that expands creativity across the organization. Join us as we discuss the characteristics of CREATIVE leadership!
