​Creative Leadership

Creative leaders inspire, cultivate, and implement imaginative solutions that can redefine an organization and ignite meaningful change. In the creative leadership program, you will:

1. Acquire the skills to build and lead effective and diverse teams in a local and global workforce
2. Build professional networks and relationships.
3. Develop skills for creative conflict resolution, communication, presentational speaking, writing and research, negotiation, and problem solving.
4. Assess an organization’s culture, the dynamics of power within the organization, and strengths/weaknesses of its leaders.
5. Implement, develop, and oversee work processes based on desired outcomes.
6. Apply creative leadership tools and thinking for assessing industry trends, forecasting, decision making, strategic planning, and managing risk to develop appropriate solutions.

The things I've learned in my classes at SU—teamwork, individual leadership, problem solving—were put to good use every day.
