What’s Creative Transformational Leadership?

It’s about being creative in how we approach problems, staying mindful and present in our decisions, and always thinking about how the changes we make can be sustainable and ethical.

It’s really about finding that balance between doing the right thing for the long haul, for the company, and for our communities, and leading by inspiring others. It merges the dynamic elements of transformational leadership with the innovative power of creativity and the grounding practice of mindfulness

This approach emphasizes the importance of inspiring change, fostering creativity, and ensuring that transformation is both ethical and sustainable.
