Abstract

This article seeks to encourage a culture of innovation and creativity among Ghanaian and African business leaders and their organizations. This rationale is pursued through the following: 1) a presentation of the need for innovation and creativity among Ghanaian and African leaders and their organizations; 2) a redefinition of the terms “innovation and creativity” in organizations; 3) perceived barriers to innovation and creativity among Ghanaian and African Leaders and businesses; 4) a candid view of how Ghanaian and African leaders can promote innovation and creativity within their organizations; and 5) five practical steps towards developing a culture of innovation and creativity among Ghanaian leaders and their organizations.

Keywords: Organizational Leadership, Creativity, Innovation, Organizations, Businesses, Africa, Ghana.
