Robert Rasmussen's recent newletter has a very intresting section about "Creative Competencies" He talks about Charles Palus and David Horth's book "The Leader's Edge - Six Creative Competencies for Navigating Complex Challenges" In the book the authors outline six creative competencies that help leaders to make good decisions in turbulent times:
1. Paying Attention; using multiple modes of perception
2. Personalising; tapping into others unique life experiences
3. Imaging; using all kind of images, such as pictures, stories and metaphors
4. Serious Play; generating knowledge through exploration, improvisation, experimentation
5. Co-inquiry; dialoguing within and across community boundaries
6. Crafting; synthesising issues, objects, events into meaningful wholes
In overall terms these six competencies ring true with me based on my own experience and I am going to order the book and review it. I will let you know my opinion in relation to the detail behind the competencies as soon as I finish it.
