Abstract
Studies have suggested that creativity and innovation in leaders can empower and motivate workers (Zhang & Bartol, 2010). Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether radical creativity has a link to effective leadership in the workplace. This study hypothesizes that there is a relationship between radical creativity and being an effective leader; the expectation is that the ability to foster ideas and innovation makes someone a more effective leader. Results from this experiment suggest that there is a positive correlation of .65 at 0.01 level of significance between radical creativity and effective leadership. Further research could explore how radical creativity promotes effective leadership in other settings.
