In this article, we will discuss several characteristics that creative leaders share, including independence, generosity, purposefulness, and optimism.

Creative Leadership is not industry specific, nor is it one-size-fits all. It is the individual act of a leader in the context of perpetual beta, and therefore path-dependent. In contrast to analytical forms of leadership, where the act of problem-solving culminates in one truth, Creative Leadership presupposes that the drive for a solution to a problem or challenge can have several outcomes and is to a significant degree shaped by the leader.

Although creative leadership is not exclusive to entrepreneurs, Creative Leaders display many elements of entrepreneurial behavior.

These are:

EXPLORATIVE, INDEPENDENT, CONTRARIAN THINKING, EMBRACING CHANGE AND ANTICIPATING THE UNEXPECTED

Creative Leaders find insights and ideas from unrelated fields, chance encounters and the unexpected. They nurture broad external networks with the expectation that this builds significant future value, and they use open dialogue to tease out perspectives and ideas from others. They are comfortable with contradicting insights, paradoxes, conflicting needs and ambiguity. They identify and challenge assumptions that underpin perceived realities.

Creative leaders think in contrary directions and deliberately reject conventional, inherited parameters. They are not satisfied with the first solution and search for better concepts that bring major improvement. They view life as a journey where opportunities for learning and development are always present. Finally, they intuitively sense new opportunities that could be created.

VISIONARY THOUGHT LEADERSHIP, THINKING BIG WITH SOCIAL PASSION AND GENEROUS PURPOSE

Creative leaders think globally, strategically and towards large impact. They have social awareness and holistic connectedness. They exhibit mindful self-awareness, being connected to what is happening in the here and now, demonstrate compassion for others, and exude a humble, open attitude.

They are able to translate an appealing market opportunity into an enterprise concept that is innovative against incumbent business models. They can integrate large societal impact with attractive economic returns.

1. This article indicates that creative leaders embrace change, contrarian thinking, the unexpected, and challenge assumptions the underpin perceived realities. Currently, there is a huge emphasis on the truth and that the whole truth must be evidence-based. How can creative leaders embrace contrarian thinking and challenge assumptions without first embracing the truth? How is the truth manipulated and what role must all leaders at any level play within an organization to ensure that evidence-based truth drives decision making?
