Insights gleaned from Harvard Business Publishing resources Taryn Haynes-Smart Senior Learning Consultant
The importance of creativity:Findings from the 2010 Global CEO Study • Global business is becoming increasingly complex • 79% of CEOs expect a more complex business environment • We have to think very differently about how to run organizations • More than ½ of CEOs doubt their ability to manage this escalating complexity • Shifting economic power and heavier regulation foreseen • Creativity is a strategic issue • It is the most important skill required to navigate the new landscape
Characteristics of the top performing organisations and their creative leaders Findings from the 2010 Global CEO Study Top performers focus on: Developing creative leaders Deepening partnerships with employees and customers Achieving operational agility Their creative leaders: Willing to make deeper business model changes Take more calculated risks Keep innovating in how they lead and communicate Ready to upset the status quo
Developing creative leaders A new breed of visionary and empathetic leaders, who act less as commanders and more as coaches, less as managers and more as facilitators, who foster self-respect rather than demanding respect, and who ignite the imagination and encourage contribution from the whole organisation
Developing creative leaders 5 critical areas for consideration Cultural, political, organisational and technological barriers Supporting structures, reward systems, processes, metrics and goals Risk taking and learning from failure Best practice vs. Next practice Partnerships with customers, suppliers, employees and competition
Tips for managing for creativity • Draw on the right minds • Tap ideas from all ranks • Encourage and enable collaboration • Open the organisation to diverse perspectives • Facilitate the creative process • Construct a clear set of goals • Provide paths through bureaucracy • Create filtering mechanisms • Fan the flames of motivation • Provide intellectual challenge • Allow people to pursue their passions • Be an appreciative audience • Embrace the certainty of failure • Provide setting for ‘good work’

Research: The Global Leadership Forecast (2010) Why confidence in leaders is declining despite a heightened focus on developing leadership talent. The study surveyed almost 1,500 HR professionals and more than 12,000 leaders from 76 countries. The key findings of this research is as follows: Although 75% of the executives surveyed said that improving leadership talent was a top business priority, just 40% were satisfied with what their organizations were actually doing to help them, a decline of 12% since the last Leadership Forecast was published two years ago. “… what emerges from the report is a clear message that executives want more opportunities to learn on the job, such as special projects or moving to a new assignment, their senior management seldom takes responsibility for making this happen".” Almost 60% of the executives said that they and their manager had not agreed on a formal written plan for their leadership development. And only around 35% of senior managers were held accountable for the success of leadership development programs. Only 25% of organizations monitor their leadership development programs or formally measure their results. "Great leadership doesn’t happen by accident – organizations need to start listening to their leaders and make the right development investments if they want different results than they’re getting now," HR professionals indicated that one in three succession candidates fail.”

Modern challenges with Leadership and Management development programs • It happens mainly in a classroom • And usually outside the place of work • It’s reserved for the ‘special few’ • The shift from Boomers to X’ers • Lack of timeto apply leadership principles • Influence of company or regional cultures in approach • Not aligned to active learning time (2hrs to 30mins) • Insufficient time to network and collaborate • A lack of inside coaching opportunities • Ability to create and cascade the leadership culture • Recognition for the various leadership styles • Very costly with limited impact on performance (ROI)
