How can leaders identify the creative talents of their employees?
One way is to recognize that there is more than one way for individuals to be creative. It turns out that just as there are multiple forms of intelligence, there are multiple forms of creativity. And just as there is no one best way to lead, there is also no one right or best way to be creative, particularly if we define creativity as the ability to consciously produce different and valuable results. Using the model described in Breakthrough Creativity: Achieving Top Performance Using the Eight Creative Talents, leaders can help their employees identify their talents and then most importantly figure out what steps to take to develop these important talents and to allow them to flourish.
