When you lead for creativity, your organization can address the complex challenges of today’s business world and find solutions that are innovative and inspired, but still feasible and practical. Instilling a creative, problem-solving culture in your organization is a disciplined process that will require you to think and behave differently, and to provide just the right resources and incentives to challenge and engage your team.

In this webinar, Professor Elizabeth Mannix, Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Management at Cornell’s Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management will take you through a framework that will help you lead for creativity and foster a culture of innovation in your organization.

Professor Mannix will discuss:

  • How to frame your own creative perspective
  • What it takes to build a creative culture
  • How to lead alongside, and inspire your team to think and behave more creatively
  • What you and individual team members need to contribute to foster and maintain a creative environment

You will learn from examples of how leaders at top companies in consumer goods, entertainment, and media, technology and healthcare are challenging their teams to reach beyond the things they know — to reach outside of their comfort zones — to make the seemingly impossible, achievable.
