Balancing Acts – HarperCollins Leadership Essentials

Are you prepared to take the risks necessary to drive innovation and champion an environment of over-the-top invention?

Cirque du Soleil Executive Vice-Chairman Daniel Lamarre shares what it takes for anyone, regardless of position or industry, to embrace the value of creative leadership.

Without Creativity, There is No Business

Whether you are an entrepreneur, an executive, or a professional, if you are not prioritizing creativity—in the dictionary definition of “making or bringing into existence something new”—you are wasting your time. No company deserves to exist unless it is constantly discovering new ways to make its customers’ lives better.

After all, Cirque du Soleil, has no physical products, no factories or inventory, no pricey real estate. Instead, they have something far more valuable: the limitless creativity that springs from the minds, hearts, and bodies of our artists.

The relationship between MGM Resorts and Cirque du Soleil is synonymous with Las Vegas’ evolution as the Entertainment Capital of the World. From the first tent show behind The Mirage in the early 1990s to the four incredibly successful shows currently running on The Strip, we have together redefined the city’s entertainment landscape and created a destination unlike any other in the world. I’ve been honored to work alongside Daniel Lamarre for 20 years during both good times and challenging ones for our organizations. His book is a great reminder that creativity and business should not be treated as two separate entities. When working together symbiotically, they have the ability to drive an organization to even greater heights.
Bill Hornbuckle
President and CEO, MGM Resorts Group

The Power of Creativity

To be creative is to make yourself vulnerable.

That’s why it’s so important, in any creative endeavor, to establish a safe harbor.
