Many years ago I took courses at the Center for Creative Leadership, a world-renowned leadership-development firm.
I worked for Dole at the time, and I guess they had high hopes for my changing the world, or at least improving my portion of the organization.
One of the courses I took was called “Leading Creatively.” I recall it vividly, mostly because of the unique lessons it provided on problem-solving.
Each of us was to come to the course with one or two key business issues that were giving us difficulty. The instructors would use a variety of creative exercises to help us find solutions.
