Organizations need ethical leaders: how to attract and nurture cultural creatives into positions of leadership and influence

摘要

All of the above suggest that cultural creatives are a good fit for work that involves wicked problems, influence and persuasion [...] maybe because they have the moral passion to drive them to fight for change? The implications for those organizations wishing to embrace and drive change are good, perhaps less so for those content with a behemoth status. Organizations can attract and nurture cultural creatives by: 1. highlighting opportunities to help others;2. recognizing that money will be a significant motivator;3. giving them opportunities to inspire and reach others;4. having a say in their own support and development needs; and 5. creating their own job description. As autonomous individuals, they are ready to leave if not fulfilled and supported, so collaboration and co-creation of their role, responsibilities, and ways of working will be much more sustaining for a cultural creative than top-down directives and low levels of autonomy.
