Smart Fun: Leveraging Creative and Emotional Intelligence at Work

Creativity is the most important leadership quality for business success in today’s complex and uncertain world. At least that’s what 60% of CEOs told the famed IBM Global CEO Study in 2010. In 2012, the repeat study found that the majority of CEOs were strongly focused on fostering collaborative environments to draw out the creative power of their workforces. These leaders clearly know that creativity doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s not surprising that a vital pre-requisite for creativity is emotional intelligence. As it turns out, we can fully develop our creative intelligence only when we’ve developed certain critical emotional and social competencies that make up emotional intelligence.

Join Kathy Jordan, PhD and Judy Skoglund, creativity and leadership experts, as they help you learn more about how to develop and leverage creativity in support of your organization's mission and goals. During this webinar, you'll explore the fascinating connections between creative intelligence and emotional intelligence. You’ll tap into your own creative powers and emotional intelligence —and be inspired to boost the creative and emotional intelligence of your organization’s leaders. You’ll also have fun participating in a short experiential activity that you can use with your own teams to tee up the value of workplace creativity.

You will learn:
•       How creative intelligence, when supported by emotional intelligence, enhances workplace performance
•       Myths and facts about creative intelligence
•       7 elements of creative intelligence that successful leaders share with great artists such as Pablo Picasso and Mary Cassatt and master innovators such as Grace Murray Hopper and Steve Jobs.
