I'm very creative and love leadership. I'm not completely disregarding his view but personally I don't see how that applies to myself. having creativity to me further makes me want to lead because it makes me feel more confident in the position knowing I can come up with new, revolutionary and "creative" ideas that may follow on to create better leadership, and better society in the future.
Very well said and a fine line to tread from 'I have the answer' to 'I want you to figure it out'.
Very helpful. My position that demands authority is conflicted with my creative side. It has Beend A struggle. But now I know who's in the fight. You shed light on my two people.
If you're not unsure where the chosen path will take you, you are not being creative, thats why creative-leaders don't want to be authority-leaders. Doing both is hard because it will almost surely wreck the creative process...
Amazing insights. I appreciate the short, but powerful talk.
These are things I've been struggling with myself (from the other end of the spectrum, being normally very conservative and reserved and slowly realizing the immense value that creativity offers [as the first born maturity has always been thrust upon me]).
I still don't find myself in a leadership position (for now), but I know this is something I need to deal with if I hope be an effective leader.
Also I've recently joined THINK (the high impact network), which is focused on 'effective altruism'.
You may have been a bit presumptive on my lack of focus on 'a bigger picture'.
Fact is however, I still need to make a living. Leadership and management in its various forms provides insights into these issues from another perspective.
rhetorical questions are devices used to spur thought in the listener, and to get you thinking for yourself.
Leadership is not so easily defined in a world where hierarchies are constantly being challenged.
Though you're right I tend to do better in an 'advisor' type position.
I'm exploring complex relationships in our understanding of 'power' and 'authority', and how to bridge the gap of mutual understanding that currently exists through our imprecise 'tool of communication'.
A link to my blog is on my profile. To give you an idea of the content it is "The Bridge to World Peace and Prosperity".
My condolences. Get well soon.
Damn, this guy should write a book. I would buy it.
I very much enjoyed this. I am a leader of a gaming community and such I had to learn how to be authoritative despite my creative background. What you said about a creative leader felt very true and it is for that reason that I enjoyed this so much. Thank you
Its not easy to create a frame unless your mentality says it the perfect one. Just as person are to find the perfect mellody just to satisfie your mentality needs to hear if its the sound that everyone are looking for.
You can't have a leader that answer a question with "maybe". There's a advantage to the group that acts first, and always will be.
The ceo have to be able to make questionable decisions (especially in crisis) if you want the company to be competative.
Yes I already have, I quite enjoyed that one as well.
Gotta love BigThink.
Get this guy on to do more lectures. This is a great piece of film, that we can all take something from.
You shed light on my struggle. You've exposed the two people that I have been battling with
This clash of assertive leader and creative worker happens about sevety percent of the time. This is the first time i have heard anyone explain it.
wow this guy is so right! He has a brilliant mindset in the matter o leadership. If only por political leaders could be so open-minded and at the same time decisive.
I love these videos. It's so nice to see intelligent life still exists.
Pretty chill outlook. Taoist balance FTW!! XD
i guess I must be creative, then. I hate being told what to do unless I am inspired to agree with the purpose of the task. I gave up on working in a corporate environment for this reason.
your response is awesome. just saying
Ur conscient leading involves giving orders and dominant position, and maybe will perhaps increase cortisol level in your body due to the presence of others dominant charcaters.Leaders are often more stressed then the others persons. I suggest you forget the the transitivity principle and embrace a bigger picture. Be like the spiritual guide of the tribe, we need more ppl like that, wise ppl, open ppl, sharp ppl. We alrdy have enough of "leaders" outhere, and its not always for the best...
Good leaders need clarity of vision and good administrative skills. They need to convey that vision well, not just bark orders.
there are thousands other things that a leader has to do, and many other "at the end of the day" arguments. but that's not the scope of his dicussion is it? he's talking about the possibility of reinforcing the other type within you, how to deal with the opposing type when leading and etc.
The best comment I have seen in a long while.
In John Maeda's experience, the ideal leader falls somewhere in between Marcel Marceau and Charlie Chaplin.
The "bigger picture" was to boost the impact on the words, i never implied you'r less evolved or something like that you might have it wrong interpreted.
My point is that i believe theres something more effective then the leadership behavior line, studies shows it. Its like the breathing system, we have it, it works, but theres better (ref. birds breathing system).
However, my english lvl isnt enough to correctly debate on this, so like the guy in the video says : be creative, "reject" evidence
I believe the relevance of the title can be found in the description.
Because Tao is everything.
Another great talk. I love this channel!
title's a bit misleading but interesting video none-the-less
I would like to see more evidence of what Maeda is referring to in a real world situation - not because I questions such a talk but rather take away something more concrete to apply it. Failing that, I would like to hear him talk about a template - or templates - that is slightly longer than the one sentence suggestions of "If you are XYZ type then you need to be more ABC."
It's about synthesizing the dialectic and achieving balance to move forward effectively, rather than letting your conflicting nature paralyze you.
yes
I hope i have one too.
Curious . . . not once did you mention the need to reach a goal, get a job done. In the end, isn't that what a leader needs to do, whether it be authoritative or creative?
What makes you feel that you have to be a leader ?
damn thats some knowledge
I should hope for the two presidential candidate to watch this video to really know what it takes to be a tru to such a great nation
Do you have an resources I can look into about this further?
I don't think we ever will.
Haven't we outgrown the need for leaders yet?
diaz 1,2 and 5
You should tell Wall Street they're doing it all wrong then, I'm sure they'll be happy to be informed.
I never said it does ahah. I guess if you've read a lot of literature on the subject you can see the relevance in his words.
...And a pointless reply.
Would you care to expand on your point?
It's worth noting that the speaker on the video is talking about departing from your true nature, your inherent self, which I rather thought was kind of the principle thrust of Taoism, as somewhat explicated in 'The Vinegar Tasters'.
1:21 i think he is the first "mime leader"
ye ...
cool
Wanting to get paid more could be for the benefit of your family.
Are you gonna delete this video too, like you did with his last one?
Why is every sentence this guy says in in the form of a question?
Posted this on my Inspirational Video Facebook page. Check this talk out and more @InSPYrVids
Wait a minute.... this almost makes too much sense...
*heaved sigh*
Merely mentioning Lao Tzu doesn't make it "tao".
Be bothe

This entire video is a question.
Not if you understand it's significance.
How is this a Tao of anything?
Not even close.
Real leaders make more leaders instead of followers.
:( every1 hates on the first born
No, in this case it's poor speaking habits. Ending each sentence with a questioning tone is so annoying.
Maybe when you start shaving it will dawn on you.
But last to get laid.
First
Making it a pointless label.
sorry, who cares
Im with this guy, I watched a Documentry on television about the bubble that the president is in. The president really has so little say in what happens unless he wants to get down and dirty with paperwork. Instead nearly all presidents have someone "Summarize" bills and laws and such to be passed. He just has a chat and puts his john hancock on it. Also, 4 years of presidency isn't enough to get a feel for anything nor pass much. Then again neither is 8 years. We need lifetime leaders.
Amazing insights. I appreciate the short, but powerful talk.
