Key Inspiration for the Day: Inspired leadership will decide who wins in the conceptual economy. Recently, on its 20th anniversary, the US Council on Competitiveness published a review of the past, present and future of the competitive challenges that face the nation. In the report, the Council’s president writes, “At the beginning of the 21st century, America stands at the dawn of a conceptual economy in which insight, imagination and ingenuity determine competitive advantage and value creation.” She further describes this new economy as favoring “judgment, intuition, creativity and insight.” This conceptual economy, she adds, “will be fueled by the fusion of different technical and creative fields, and thrive on scholarship, creativity, artistry and leading-edge thinking.” For too long, corporate leaders have coveted and pursued data and technology, while paying lip service to, or entirely ignoring creativity and inspiration, the essential catalysts that turn knowledge and technology into competitive advantages. Kevin Asbjornson is at the forefront of innovation with his Leadership and Development experience Artistry of Leadership - Creating Meaningful Connections®. Kevin’s leadership paradigm is centered on awakening leaders’ creative competencies and powers to inspire, imagine and innovate, and an ever-increasing list of leading international corporations are discovering the transformative impact of Kevin’s ideas.
