Creativity & Leadership

First, Howard Gardner conquered long held misconceptions about 'intelligence' and 'understanding'.

Now, drawing conclusions from the lives of extraordinary individuals like Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, and Virginia Woolf, Howard Gardner presents a revolutionary new psychology of creativity and leadership.  

Here, in this dynamic presentation for the classroom, discover where leaders and creators come from. In CREATIVITY & LEADERSHIP, Gardner shatters long held misconceptions, and draws profound new lessons, about the intelligences, childhoods, and lives of EXTRAORDINARY MINDS -- and about what is at stake for education, parenting, and society. 

Based on 15 years of research, and his Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI), Howard Gardner's CREATIVITY & LEADERSHIP takes your students on a unique intellectual journey. Debunking traditional 'I.Q.' and 'behaviorist' perspectives, Gardner addresses 7 new questions. He reveals:  

Why creativity is never 'general', but always 'domain-specific'--and how creative domains relate to the different intelligences;

Why creativity & leadership are mostly 'made', not 'born'--and why childhood 'prodigies' do not tend to be particularly creative later in life;

The particular childhood experiences of leaders and creators--including the critical distinction between 'object-oriented' and 'person-oriented' children, and the pivotal role of rebelliousness and risk-taking;

How leadership and creativity are related; and what leadership has to do with 'storytelling' within a cognitive perspective.

The lessons we can learn--and instill in children--about creatively applying our own unique combination of intelligences in the world.  

... and much, much more.
