Features: The challenges faced by organizations and leaders are becoming increasingly complex. Terms like "volatile," "multi-dimensional," and "unprecedented" are commonly used to describe the challenges leaders encounter. This book discusses the six creative abilities and approaches leaders must possess through numerous real-world cases and surveys, offering six thinking models to address complex challenges: focus, personalization, imagery, gaming, collaborative inquiry, and artistry. These six practical leadership skills and arts help in organizational leadership in today's complex and ever-changing business environment. Engage in conversations, and occasionally join in. This book will tell you what we saw through these individual studies and analyze the reasons behind the profound lessons they offer. In research and practice, we have summarized six abilities to handle complex challenges. These insights and skills are a special method that leaders, teams, and organizations can use to understand and navigate rapidly changing environments and complex situations. The purpose of writing this book is to help people improve their creative leadership in three aspects. First, this book will help you identify whether you already possess the ability to handle complex challenges and further develop such abilities. Second, it will enable you to understand from practice that these abilities are crucial for understanding what seems like chaotic realities when integrated with traditional skills. Finally, you will find methods to help companies and teams develop and use these abilities to reach consensus and better address complex challenges. This book is written for executives, managers, cross-functional team leaders, strategists, research and development teams, and anyone working in rapidly changing organizations (characterized by unpredictability, chaos, and constant change) — we hope these techniques in the book will help people in various industries showcase their leadership potential.
