Center for Creative Leadership: www.ccl.org
Excerpt from the website:
What is creative leadership? It’s the capacity to think and act beyond the boundaries that limit our effectiveness. Every leader and organization faces obstacles that are difficult to surmount – from corporate executives confronting the complex global marketplace to educators trying to lift student achievement to nonprofit groups and government agencies addressing critical social issues with tight budgets.
Excerpt from website:
The FISH! Philosophy® emerged in 1998 from the film, FISH! Catch the Energy…this film is about the Seattle’s world-famous Pike Place Fish Market…that even in a workplace where fishmongers spent stinky, grueling 12-hour shifts stocking, selling and packing fish, remarkable results can occur when people accept the invitation to: 1) Be there for their coworkers and customers; 2) Play; 3) Make someone’s day; and, 4) Choose their attitude about how they show up for work.
Excerpt from website:
Servant-Leadership is a practical philosophy which supports people who choose to serve first, and then lead as a way of expanding service to individuals and institutions. Servant-leaders may or may not hold formal leadership positions. Servant-leadership encourages collaboration, trust, foresight, listening, and the ethical use of power and empowerment.
