Strategic Creativity for Leaders(hip): Practice beyond Theory

This book explores how creativity is being redefined in the age of artificial intelligence and information overload.Tracing the evolution from Drucker’s knowledge worker to Florida’s creative class, it examines how generative AI reshapes work, decision-making, and measurement.Drawing on major psychological thinkers such as Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Teresa Amabile, Daniel Kahneman, and Herbert Simon, it connects creativity research with cognitive science and behavioral decision theory.By combining management theory, creativity studies, and historical insight, the book reveals what remains uniquely human in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms. Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of creativity as a dynamic human capacity rather than a vague buzzword or mystical gift.The book clarifies key distinctions-between abilities, skills, and competences; between Big-C and little-c creativity; and between algorithmic novelty and human originality rooted in intention and cultural meaning.I
