Robert Taraschi of Milestone Ideas on creative leadership. Bob is a former theatre director at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company in the UK, who like myself found a new world and a new passion in applying theatrical methodologies to the development of people's creative leadership and creativity skills. Bob's writing, driven by his creative experience in theatre, comes straight from the heart rather than the rationally constrained mind of the academic and because of that I find his writing honest and accessible and his search for meaning in the field of creative leadership quite profound. I offer his recent piece on reflections on President Kennedy's leadership as an introduction. In Boston, the USS John Kennedy, the aircraft carrier, named for the late President, bids us farewell. The carrier was frequently stationed in the Mediterranean, projecting power and authority in a tumultuous Middle East.
