EXECUTIVE WORKSHOPS
Art is a model for business innovation since all great art challenges the status quo.
Carol Hymowitz writes in The Wall Street Journal, "Executives could learn from artists’ ability to dare to break molds, lead changes in taste, raise funds, and be productive while being frugal. Artists also can show how to take criticism but not let it thwart their individuality or stop them from developing their work."
Now more than ever, we need creative leaders to make a positive difference in the world. In IBM’s Global CEO Study 2010, CEOs of the world’s leading organizations named creativity, over integrity and global thinking, as the most important leadership skill.
"The smartest people are constantly revising their understanding, reconsidering a problem they thought they'd already solved. They're open to new points of view, new information, new ideas, contradictions, and challenges to their own way of thinking."
-Jeff Bezos
IBM conducted a follow-up study with the Chief Human Resources Officers of the same corporations only to learn that two-thirds of participating CHROs admitted they did not know how to develop creative leaders.
Kinglee's executive workshops foster highly creative leaders through arts-based training. Each activity is connected to a business objective to impel novel ideas that solve real-world challenges.
