Corporate Alchemy: Art is a catalyst
for creativity, collaboration, and transformational leadership.
Some of the greatest difficulties leaders face today revolve around the need to instill passion, mobilize teams toward achieving a common vision, and motivate change in employees.
The mark of authentic artful leaders in any organization is how well they are able to continually nurture the creative relationships and conversations between all stakeholders; in order to produce successful immediate value and long term viability.
Since all great art pushes boundaries beyond established norms, it can teach us about aesthetics, ambiguity, diversity, chaos, change, courage, and complexity.
The arts (painting, poetry, improvisation and storytelling) take us on adventures in creative expression that help us safely explore unknown territory, overcome fear, and take risks.
Arts-based processes create a crucible for learning and experimentation while containing the chaos of creativity and allowing self organization to occur. We can transfer these learning experiences to the workplace.
