Abstract: Abstract In this empirical chapter, we investigate learners’ qualitative feedback on the perceived effectiveness of the methodology and pedagogy of a comparatively new creative leader development program. The chapter reports how prospective creative leaders appraise ex post the overall methodology, the chosen pedagogy, as well as the value of different pedagogical tools employed by the Genius Journey program. Section 1 discusses why organizations need to develop more creative leaders and why this requires training programs that are both effective and creative. The second part explores pertinent theories and suitable learning approaches in the current context of developing creative leaders. Section 3 summarizes our chosen research design and methodology. In Sect. 4, we present the empirical findings on how learners qualitatively comment on the methodology and pedagogy of the Genius Journey. We also investigate how creative leader candidates define the program in their own words and explore how they perceive the value of various pedagogical accessories used in the program. We also report how the creative leader candidates sum-up their takeaways from the program. In the final Sect. 5, we discuss the relevance of our findings for researchers, educators, and practitioners in the evolving domain of creative leadership.
