How Can Leaders Think Creatively?

By championing creative thinking, leaders cultivate a space where ideas flourish, collaboration thrives, and the extraordinary becomes possible, paving the way for sustainable success and growth. "Yet we don't program time for leaders to be creative," says Eugene Sepulveda. "When can they let their mind relax and daydream? The best organizations create environments where that can happen."

With a career spanning decades as an executive and entrepreneur across industries, Eugene's wisdom can help us navigate new pathways for innovation. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of Culturati, a research and culture-building community known for its Annual Summit in Austin, TX. He also serves as an Advisor at Capital Factory and Co-Chair of The Obama Foundation's Texas Chapter.

In this episode, Eugene and neurobiology expert Rajkumari Neogy explore ways of thinking to help leaders navigate today's workplace environment. They discuss the value of spontaneity, the neurochemistry of playfulness, and how, as a leader, to reconcile your personal values with your organization's.
