creativity and leadership

Yesterday I attended a conference -  Creativity Project. Big Fat Smile. At the end of it I was struck by how important creativity and the creative process is to learning and expressing and to finding ones voice and consequently how creativity is probably an essential quality  for a dynamic leader to possess.

Richard Gill and John Marsden were standouts as was Margo Ward from kidsxpress. One of the speakers Glavin Scott Davis showed a lovely cartoon of the evolution of the tablet - not quite this one but i like this too!. Galvin spoke about his journey from app to printed book that has seen him develop an app and merchandise first with the ultimate aim of getting his book published. It is inspiring to think that we could all follow this pathway to print or an alternative way to get ours or a student's work published. Incidentally, his book "Dandelion" which is about bullying is released this week!
