Your most valuable asset? Creativity
As we're coming off the worst economic conditions that many of us have ever witnessed first-hand, you would think CEOs would be focused on honing management disciplines or tightening operational efficiencies. But according to a new study conducted by IBM, "... 60% of CEOs polled cited creativity as the most important leadership quality compared with 52% for integrity and 35% for global thinking. Creative leaders are also more prepared to break with the status quo of industry, enterprise and revenue models, and they are 81% more likely to rate innovation as a 'crucial capability.'"
The study polled 1,500 corporate heads and public sector leaders across 60 nations and 33 industries.
