Making Innovation Happen
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 at 10:05PM Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 08:02PM The Creative Skills Training Council has recently launch a series of Global Conversations led by Global Leaders in the area of creative skills training and development. September's conversation was with Professor Bob Denhardt
Denhardt is an internationally known speaker and writer on leadership and organizational change and is Lincoln Professor of Leadership and Ethics and Director of the School of Public Affairs at Arizona State University and a Past President of the American Society for Public Administration, a nationwide organization of academics and practitioners in the field of public administration at all levels of government. He is also a member of the prestigious National Academy of Public Administration.
The Dance of Leadership is therefore hardly the title of a book you would expect from somebody with this background. It is however the best and most accessible work I have read on the nexus betwen arts and leadership.
Based on Professor Denhardt's most recent book, The Dance of Leadership. the CSTC Global Conversation focuses on the art of leadership, employing material from art, music, and especially dance to discover new ways of thinking about leadership and new ways of sharpening your own focus in this area.

It can breathe new life into a tired soul; make a spirit soar; unleash locked-away creativity; unite generations and cultures; inspire new romances or rekindle old ones; trigger long-forgotten memories; and turn sadness into joy, if only during the dance.
