THE EIGHT KEYS TO INSPIRED LEADERSHIP ® WHAT IS ARTISTRY OF LEADERSHIP ® ? “What i the most eective artists are also leaders, and the most eective leaders are also artists?” This is the insight o Kevin D. Asbjörnson, MIM, Founder and Principal Perorming Artist o Inspire! Imagine! Innovate! TM Ater 10 years in international business, Asbjörnson concluded that traditional models o leadership were inadequate or the multidimensional demands inherent in leading others. Why? These models ail to tap the individual’ s “EQ” (Emotional Quotient) or emotional intelligence – their capacity or such things as sel-awareness, creative expression, imagining, and empathy. As a composer , musician, and perormer , Asbjörnson knew these to be undamental competencies o the practicing artist. But he came to believe passionately that they are also essential or highly eective leadership. Asbjörnson developed a program that integrates the expertise o the practicing artist with the science o leadership. The result is Artistry o Leadership – Creating Meaningul Connections, ® an interactive, dynamic proessional development experience and keynote event that awakens business leaders to their powers o ocus, interpretation, visioning, listening, and i nnovation. Artistry o Leadership ® embraces the principles o the Inspired Learning Model TM o which Asbjörnson is both a master acilitator and practitioner. This model centers on the dynamic interaction between the acilitator, learner and the learning environment — an interaction that inspires sel-discovery, insight and wisdom. During the Artistry o Leadership ® program, participants sit around a Yamaha ® Grand Piano. Using his original music as a platorm, Asbjörnson engages the participants in a leadership “practice session” that involves thinking, journaling and dialogue about their business challenges and approach to leadership. He demonstrates and reveals in each participant the artistic competencies o reection, insight and intentional listening. In doing so, he empowers the participants to apply their newound perspective as artists in the workplace to achieve unprecedented synergy and teamwork, enhanced employee productivity, accelerated business perormance and other breakthroughs or their enterprises. In short, Kevin reveals how to lead by inspiration, which sparks imagination that triggers innovation. 1
