Still in review.
Very good content on managing creativity, and development of creative leadership skills.
This book helps our students at undergrad level to appreciate the importance of leadership in today's organisations. The sound theoretical background marries very well the practical concepts considered.
Very good book for the course. Students are using at least half of the chapters
Excellent text, we have used it as an essential reading for the Perspectives of Creative leadership module for the last 3 years
unsuitable for unit
Creative Leadership helps the reader getting a better understanding of the way in which creative processes can be supported through communicative actions. It presents important frameworks and allows the reader to create an understanding of how to work with and have an effect on individuals, teams and organisational processes for achieving creative outcomes.
Introduces some worthwhile concepts and frameworks that could help future entrepreneurs
Course cancelled. If reactivated we will probably use this book.
Content and clarity of the tables within the book have created new ideas for lectures. The creativity and accessibilty of techniques makes this text highly recommended
Good, with a broad approach, but a bit of a bias towards the idea that creativity is manageable within rational processes; at bit of a technological bias, so to speak.
Very good book. Students have been enjoying the book and the activitiess
A key text to inform student projects on IE3A8. I will also recommend for NPQICL which I facilitate for the University of Wolverhampton.
Contains a few really interesting chapters, and will be really useful as supplementary reading to the course
The book came much later as it was expected, so that the semester had already passed and we could not use this book.\Feedback for the book:The book provides information on main principles for creativity and proposes tools to enhance it. It succeeds to build a good connection between the theory and its verification by modern empirical research. The authors give sometimes very obvious information (like definitions of „what is process“ (p.50), „curiosity“ or „data“ (p.114))
Choose a different book that you had on leadership (Northouse, 9781452203409).
This textbook is a useful source for those who want to know -in practice- how to be a creative leader. It is valuable, simple in presenting the content and application exercises, thus it ensures learning.
Other texts are better fit for the course.
I adopted Northouse's Leadership: Theory and Practice. His is an excellent approach to dealing with the theory that most students find difficult and boring. Yet, it covers the theory well. I am rebuilding the course for Summer or Fall 2011. I did not adopt Puccio's Creative Leadership. I believe this is more in the line of \change management" rather than leadership. For leadership it does not cover the theory and would be too narrow. It is, however, well written and might be an interesting alternative read for some graduate courses.
Not as centered around Leadership and Change as needed.
