Abstract	One of the essential ingredients of high-performing individuals, teams and organisations is creativity. To be creative means releasing talent and imagination. It also means the ability to take risks and, in some cases, necessitates standing outside the usual or accepted frames of reference. Creative people push the boundaries; they seek new ways of seeing, interpreting, understanding and questioning. They can accept the ambiguity of contradiction and uncertainty. They can tolerate disorder and unpredictability. In fact, they thrive in circumstances which others might see as chaotic and disorderly. This article discusses creative leadership, a form of "servant leadership" where the main leadership task is to connect different people, ideas and ways of thinking. It is leadership that develops the capabilities and capacities of all those within the organisation so that creativity, wherever it occurs on whatever scale, can be captured, supported and enhanced. Creative leadership is "leadership without ego". It is fundamentally and genuinely concerned with generating new organisational possibilities through challenging rather than reproducing the status quo. (ERIC).
