Effective leader performance is critical to the success of creative efforts. Although, in recent years, the importance of leadership to creative efforts has begun to be recognized, little work has been done examining how organizations should develop people to lead these efforts. The present issue of Advances in Developing Human Resources presents a number of techniques that might be used to develop those who will be asked to lead creative efforts. The implications of these observations for HRD professionals in developing the leaders of creative efforts are discussed.
