Your Own Process

Abstract: Abstract One of the hallmarks of artists and craftspeople who spend their lives engaged in a creative process is the way in which they pay attention to their own practice, their own creative process. The same is true for leaders who see leadership as a creative process, whether or not they aspire to a craft or an art of leadership. For leaders the critical issue comes down to three steps.1 First they need to understand how their own actions contribute to creating social interactions. Second they need to figure out why they act in that particular way (as opposed to the countless ways that others might act in the same situation). And third, they need to actively experiment with other ways of acting. By doing this, the leader takes conscious control of her own leadership practice. These three steps may sound simple, but in reality they are very difficult. Luckily there are some helpful techniques that anyone can use to become more aware of her own practice.
