Abstract: Abstract The practices of looking at your own process and of going deeper are crucial, lifelong practices of the creative process of leadership that is at the core of both the craft and the art of leadership. But they are by no means the only aspects of learning to be a creative leader. In order to talk a bit about the larger picture of developing creative leaders, let me introduce a brief model of learning.1 The model starts with the three things that influence how we make sense of the world, which are our personal history, the specific context, and our technical knowledge (see figure 11.1). These then determine our frames, which are the theories and beliefs we have about the world that guide how we make sense of things. Based on these frames, we act. The actions produce outcomes. We learn about our own practice as we create representations of what happened and reflect upon them. Different learning modalities focus on different pieces of this process.
