Products for Enhancing Your Creativity and Strategic Leadership:

"Breakthrough Creativity"

Howard Gardner's classic book Multiple Intelligences exploded the myth that intelligence can be measured along a single dimension. Now Breakthrough Creativity: Achieving Top Performance Using the Eight Creative Talents shows that creativity, like intelligence, exists in a variety of forms. It demonstrates most convincingly that organizations need to make use of creativity in all its dimensions to achieve high performance.

It takes more than just "thinking outside the box" to build a flexible, adaptive organization that will survive competitive battles, grow and prosper, and provide the environment that attracts and keeps its best talent. Based on research in personality, innovation, and creativity, as well as the author's experience in business, the book describes eight distinct creative talents. As a favored talent, each talent causes a leader to have a distinct way of looking at challenges, collecting data, and generating creative solutions.

Breakthrough Creativity describes in individual chapters how each talent works, how each contributes to the creative process, and how each can improve decision making, team building, and strategic planning and thinking. It also provides tips for those working with each talent for optimizing their creative contributions. The book brings to life the stories and rich experiences of working individuals around the world to help readers discover their own creative talents and use them to further their professional and personal lives.
