Leadership is vital to creativity and successful innovation in
groups and organizations; leadership is however seldom studied in
the academic literature as a creativity driver. One reason for the
lack of attention paid to leadership's effect on creativity may be
the common belief that creativity cannot and should not be managed.
Creative individuals and groups are regarded as, and indeed often
are, autonomous and self-driving. From this belief the erroneous
conclusion is drawn that there is no need for leadership in
creative environments and situations. The better conclusion,
proposed by this book, is that leadership not only stimulates
creativity, but that such a leadership in the science, technology,
and innovation fields should specifically possess at least two
features: a) expertise in the field(s), and b) an ability to
create, support, and encourage individuals, groups, and creative
knowledge environments. A number of specialist authors in this
volume offer original theoretical, empirical, and applied chapters
that elucidate how to better organize and lead creative efforts in
science, technology, and innovation. A number of important research
questions are raised and answered, including: What kinds of
leaderships are needed at different levels of S&T organizations
for a creative output? What social and cognitive abilities and
skills are needed for leadership in creative environments? How does
leadership vary with different phases of the creative process? This
book offers concrete analysis of how leaders and managers can
facilitate, promote, and organize for creative performance in
science, technology, and in innovating organizations, making it
required reading for academic and industrial research leaders,
scientists, and engineers.
