What makes managers resistant tochange? In one word - SUCCESS. Many hours spent doing things in acertain way produces a vast amount ofdata to suggest that change may wellendanger success.

We work exclusively with high potentialmanagers who have already experienceda great deal of success. We begin our process by acknowledging theirsuccesses and building on theirstrengths. We talk about the need to find the “small changes” that will have a significant effect on how othersexperience their leadership.

Creativity aids knowledge retention andimproves engagement. Smart successfulmanagers don’t want to be lectured at orpreached to, they want to be involved.Every intervention is designed to create an environment that allows the manager to enjoy and absorb their leadershipexperience.

Creativity in leadership fostersindependent problem solving, decisionmaking and thinking that is outside thebox. We believe strongly that creativityshould be a leadership trait.

Creativity delivers innovation by spottingimprovement opportunities and building on the existing competitive assets.
