The 12 Paradigms of Creative Leadership
Over the years I have interviewed and worked with hundreds of social entrepreneurs, creative leaders, changemakers and trailblazers. I asked myself, what do these people have in common and can a set of behaviours and skills which they exhibit be learned systematically.
I realised, yes, there are lots of commonalities, and yes, they are all learned behaviours. In looking at these traits I also realised that they fall into a pattern, which I call ‘The 12 Paradigms of Creative Leadership’.
