CREATIVE LEADERSHIP
Turn followers
into leaders to
release potential
“Happiness actually fuels success… not
the other way round.”
Shawn Achor
“The best workplaces are those where
every staff member is encouraged and
recognized for coming forward with
constructive ideas and suggestions.
Whether you think of that as a 'flat'
organization or as one without walls, the
benefits are obvious. People are more
effective and engaged, and innovation
can emerge more easily.”
Mark Dybul, The Global Fund
