Are you ready to lead the Creative Future?
Today, every leader in every industry must trade in the old mindsets and embrace the reality of change.
According to the World Economic Forum, 23% of jobs will change over the next 5 years.
As new technologies and customer expectations shift the market—and business structures and supply chains churn—every company in every industry will need to respond creatively to the reality of disruption.
Creative Leadership is an innovative mindset and toolkit that is essential to agility and resilience.
Creative leaders are process-oriented facilitators who guide others to achieve innovative ideas. They see, think and do things differently to transcend the status quo—stepping back to think big picture before zooming into actionable change.
“We can’t solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

It’s a new world of creative leadership
Leaders must be consultants, not managers.
We can’t just tell them how it is or should be. We need to engage them along the collaborative journey of why.
So much change is happening at once.
It’s impossible to focus on just one thing when everything is in flux. Leaders need to zoom out to see the big picture—and focus in on the tangible details.
We need to plan a future we can’t predict.
Traditional strategic planning is being replaced by more agile and collaborative methodologies that put innovation and possibility at their heart.
The human element is what matters most.
Even the best laid plans will fall apart unless they are powered by engaged, trusted teams who are capable of navigating the journey of creative change.
The good news is that most leaders already understand that focusing on human performance is key to building an organization that can thrive today and tomorrow. To close the gap between knowing and doing, they will need to let go of the mindsets, operating constructs, and proxies of the past.
It’s time for a new approach:
❌ Leading from the top down
❌ Looking to the past for answers
❌ Formal business communication
❌ Trying to convince or persuade
❌ Relying on data to tell the story
✅ Facilitating creative exploration
✅ Turning to the future for vision
✅ Clear, compelling storytelling
✅ Listening and connecting
✅ Considering the human element
“We saw immediate improvement in all aspects of our business storytelling, from how we tell the story of our founders to how we express the value of our product to how we create buy-in for change.
Jordan’s storytelling workshop left a lasting impact on our team—from our executives to individual contributors, and everyone in between.”
— Head of Revenue, King’s Hawaiian
Adopt a principles-based approach to leadership
Creative Leadership is a mindset, toolkit and set of abilities that elevate the human element in business.
✅ Facilitating solutioning processes
Facilitation is about supporting the creative process of others, rather than directing them towards solutions that have been pre-defined. Creative facilitation can include creating the conditions that heighten others’ creativity—including psychological, material or social supports that can trigger, enable and sustain creative thinking in others.
✅ Challenging the status quo
Innovation is about much more than implementing the latest technology. True innovation is about encouraging new perspectives and embracing new possibilities, rather than simply copying what other people have done before. Creative leaders can lead innovation as a process of change. They can also demonstrate the qualities of innovation, like experimentation and courage, to inspire their people to become something new.
✅ Designing engaging strategic narratives
The most effective creative leaders are able to present business messages in the form of a narrative. They can take complex ideas and data-driven insights and transform them into a clear, engaging format that connects your goals with the personalized needs and languages of your audiences and stakeholders.
✅ Synthesizing other perspectives and ideas
Truly creative leaders can bring together a diverse range of other ideas and integrate them, so that together they become more than the sum of their parts. Creative leaders incorporate human dynamics skills like empathy, connection and experimentation—enabling teams to challenge the status quo, take on new responsibilities and level up collective impact.
✅ Integrating the human element of change
Leadership does not happen in a vacuum. Creative leaders are looking more deeply at the human element of change—the relationship and emotional realms—to radically improve their ability to achieve goals like innovation, engagement, and buy-in.
