This investigation examined leader creativity, broadly conceptualized as a confluence of personal attributes, as a predictor of leading change in organizations. Because organizational change occurs primarily in the social system in support of the technical system, the role of social-emotional competency was also examined. Two correlational studies were conducted in samples of U.S. Army officers. As predicted, leader creativity was a significant predictor of leading change. Creativity measures explained 42% of the variance in leading change performance measures in novice officers and 71% of the variance in early-to mid-career officers. Social-emotional competency was also a significant predictor of leading change, but less than creativity."The art of the creative leader is the art of institution-building, the reworking of human and technological materials to fashion an organization that embodies new and enduring values" (Selznick, 1957, pp. 152-153).
