Introduction. Recent studies consider creativity as a source of innovation for companies but have not yet clarified the key role that it plays concerning management and the underlying organisational processes. Recent studies also provide a foundation for a direct link between creativity, leadership, and corporate innovation. Purposeand methods. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of creativity within the corporate context and stimulate an understanding of the dynamics underlying leadership as a hub for innovative ideas and proposals dissemination in organisations. The scientific research methodology is developed through the theoretical investigation of the theme of creativity with innovation and how it can pervade the organisational sphere through the leadership development.Results.The analysis of the main theoretical models allows us to identify strong dynamic connections between creativity, business innovation, and leadership and to develop and improve interventions guided by a different business vision. At the same time, I illustrate how an adequate leadership style can positively influence the work team, producing significant improvements in thoughts, feelings, and subordinates creative performance. Conclusions. Leaders who wish to sustain high performance should pay special attention to their daily behaviour towards employees, in particular by contributing to the dissemination of creativity in the company. Shared participation in artistic activities, in fact, by enhancing the individuality of employees, contributes to the strengthening of the management image that supports initiatives and participates in them. Creativity thus finds fertile ground in the goodness of ordinary company practices., Вступ. Попередні дослідження розглядають креативність як джерело інновацій для компаній, але ще не з’ясували ключову роль, яку вона відіграє в управлінні та основних організаційних процесах. Ці дослідження також створюють основу для прямого зв’язку між креативністю, лідерством та корпоративними інноваціями. Мета і методи. Мета статті полягає в тому, щоб підкреслити важливість креативності в корпоративному контексті та стимулювати розуміння динаміки, що лежить в основі лідерства як центру для поширення інноваційних ідей і пропозицій в організаціях. Методологія наукового дослідження розроблена через теоретичне дослідження теми творчості з інноваціями та того, як вона може проникнути в організаційну сферу через розвиток лідерства. Результати. Аналіз основних теоретичних моделей дозволяє виявити міцні динамічні зв’язки між креативністю, бізнес-інноваціями та лідерством, а також розробити та вдосконалити втручання, керуючись іншим баченням бізнесу. Водночас я показую, як адекватний стиль керівництва може позитивно вплинути на трудовий колектив, сприяючи значному покращенню думок, почуттів і творчої діяльності підлеглих. Висновки. Керівники, які бажають підтримувати високу продуктивність, повинні приділяти особливу увагу своїй щоденній поведінці щодо співробітників, зокрема, сприяючи поширенню креативності в компанії. Спільна участь у мистецькій діяльності, власне, підвищуючи індивідуальність працівників, сприяє зміцненню іміджу керівництва, яке підтримує ініціативи та бере в них участь. Отже, креативність знаходить благодатний ґрунт у звичайній практиці компанії.

Our society is changing, becoming a postmodern world with more attention paid to the emotional part of human beings. Organisations must develop new skills to enhance their members’ creativity and provide innovation in order to tackle new challenges. The transformation of our society provides also space for new thinking and new solutions; there is a need to be more open-minded. Organisational managers hence look into new directions to answer issues – one of them is the arts. One of arts’ manifestations in organisations is artistic interventions. Our study provides a presentation of this process, our understanding and reflection about this field and why we think it is relevant for the postmodern society in which we live. In this thesis we present our vision and theory of how a manager transforms themself into a leader through an artistic intervention and the impact on the organisational culture that the latter produces. We highlight the importance of the intervention’s follow-up and the way in which managers/leaders can lead this process to success. Our research is based on the existing literature in different fields that we have found relevant and that has enabled us to develop our own theory on the topic, with hope that it will interest other researchers to go further. In that sense, we give directions and reflections for future research.

In artistic interventions artists are invited into organizations to work with management and employees on issues that concern them, such as generating ideas for new products and services, supporting skills development (e.g., leadership, communication, and creativity), or clarifying organizational identity. For this panel symposium we bring together international scholars who have studied various governance-related aspects of artistic interventions in organizations. They will address the kind of leadership that fosters or impedes the capacity of artistic interventions to tilt organizations, the roles of intermediaries who bridge between the world of the arts and the world of organizations, and the potential of artistic interventions for addressing conflict. The symposium will also include an example of a new approach to inquiry developed by an artist in the context of her PhD research to reflect on aesthetic ways of knowing in the process of addressing conflicts. Panelists are junior and senior scholars who have researched artistic interventions in Austria, France, Germany and Sweden from the perspective of the key stakeholders involved: the artist who uses her professional competencies in the process of intervening, the manager who is responsible for initiating an intervention, and the intermediary who works with employees and the artist to enable the intervention. After brief individual presentations the moderated discussion will offer session participants the opportunity to delve deeper with the panelists into experiences with different art forms and diverse cultural contexts, as well as to address difficulties that occur in artistic interventions about which little has been written.
