Abstract
The field of philosophy, where the deepest existence debates are held, sheds light on other scientific fields while accommodating different perspectives on creativity. Understanding leadership from a creative thinking perspective is one of the ways of understanding, predicting, directing, and guiding human behaviors, both from an artistic and scientific point of view. Goals such as innovation, creativity, and sustainability make the awareness process important due to the reflections of rapidly changing technology on business and social life. For this reason, the change of thought process and the technological developments that guide this change are emphasized, and then the creative leadership term is discussed with a multidisciplinary perspective in this chapter. In this way, it is aimed to understand the new dynamics of the changing competitive environment more easily.
