4 Weapons of Exceptional Creative Leaders

The article: 4 Weapons of Exceptional Creative Leaders by Charles Day in today's Fast Company co.create is fantastic. It is a #mustread for me. It is a #readitknowitliveit for me. :)

Stop and go read the article. I will wait here for you.

The 4 Weapons (and I love the aggression of the word "weapon"...LOVE it!) are:

Context
Clearly Defined Values
Trust
Momentum

My quick and IMMEDIATE take aways - I wrote these down as I read the article. (That almost never happens). 

Context - build it from the future back. (Vision!)
Clearly Defined Values - Culture creates boundaries. Values provide foundations. The former restrict. The latter empower
Trust - foundation of COLLABORATION
Momentum - aggregate marginal gains. Get wins.

Really great piece.
