Creative Leadership:
Skills That Drive Change demonstrates how creative thinking is an
essential element of leadership, especially when bringing about change. In
this engaging book, authors Dr. Gerard J. Puccio,
Mary C. Murdock, and Marie Mance provide a unique combination of conceptual
arguments, practical principles, and proven tools to enhance future leaders’
effectiveness in creating and managing change.
Key Features:
 | Intimately connects leadership and creativity:
Leadership is now characterized as the catalyst for change, while creative
thinking is the process that leads to change. This is the first book to
make an explicit and elaborate conceptual link between creativity and
leadership. |
| Utilizes the Creative Problem Solving process:
This book explores the more than 50 years of
Creative Problem Solving (CPS) research and application. While other books
focus on creative thinking and CPS, this is the first to offer a
philosophical position that is then followed up with specific principles
and procedures that leaders can employ to deliberately enhance their
effectiveness in creating and managing change. |
| Promotes “deliberate creativity”:
The authors are all faculty at the International Center for Studies in
Creativity, Buffalo State—State University of New York, internationally
renowned as a leading authority on the topic of Creative Problem Solving.
Their rich experience encourages students to take a proactive approach
toward the production of novel and useful ideas that address a predicament
or opportunity. |

Creative Problem Solving works very well as a method
for preventing problems.
