Sir Ken Robinson on Creative Leadership

My instinct is that leadership is going to be a key teaching topic for business departments in the near future and this short video featuring the wonderful Sir Ken Robinson is certainly worth showing to students…

Sir Ken argues that the key role for leadership in a modern organisation is to create a culture which embraces and encourages creativity - rather than stifling it.  This is a valuable lesson not just for businesses, but for education too.  Perhaps we should show this to school / college SMTs!
