Open badges, creativity and successful leadership
Abstract
No one would argue that creativity is an incentive to innovation and change which boosts the
growth of economy. The question behind this statement is how to direct creativity into success and
development of organisations? In the context of research on creativity, this paper aims to introduce
the concept of Open Badges – a standard of describing and documenting skills, competences and
achievements gained anywhere and anytime. Juxtaposed with the paradox of structure, it is argued
that an Open Badge system can be used to support more effective team building, goal setting and
thus successful leadership.
