Creative Leadership: Keys to Co-Creating Value
Interview with Steven Kowalski, Ph.D.

We can’t sleepwalk ourselves into the future we hope to achieve. Together, at the intersection of creativity and leadership, we can solve our most challenging problems and co-create new value. But there are so many factors that prevent us from discovering what’s possible in this intersection. Old “narratives” about what creativity is and who we are as creators get in the way. Traditional leadership styles prevent us from truly sharing leadership in service to our most pressing and important goals. We are more creative than we know, and increasingly, our work and lives need us to engage in collective leadership. We can—and must—improve how we get “Creative Together.”
