E-MailLeadership for Creativity: About Difference and Heterogeneity
Diversity management is a double mistake. Instead, the art to master is difference and leadership. Difference leadership is based in an ethic that recognizes the other as other and accepts (if not welcomes/embraces) her or his otherness as fully valid and equal. Apart from being based in the ethics of difference, it is also a leadership guided by a politics of curiosity before the capability of people. The full force of "difference leadership" -- i.e., what I suggest should replace the misfiring concept of "diversity management" -- is actualized in the intensification of images of the people-to-come. Such intensification is accomplished in potentializing contexts, by adding eventness to them. Leadership is about this relational skill, present in the practices of writers, to make manifest images of "what could become" through exercising a visionary faculty that we call "fabulation" but should more correctly describe as invention -- i.e., to "make up."
