From prehistoric cave paintings to an inventor's Eureka moment, creativity has always been described as a particularly human trait. But something strange can happen with generative artificial intelligence. Your ideas can take shape far faster. You also get ideas that you might never have imagined on your own. So, who is the creator here? What is creative work in the era of generative AI? What is innovation in this emerging world? In this episode, How Generative AI Changes Creativity, Adi Ignatius speaks with video artist and consultant Don Allen Stevenson III about how generative AI is disrupting creative work and the creative industry. Then Ignatius speaks to two innovation researchers, Jacqueline Ng Lane and David De Cremer, about changes to the creative process within organizations. Lane is a professor at Harvard Business School. De Cremer is a professor at the National University of Singapore Business School and a coauthor of the HBR article “How Generative AI Could Disrupt Creative Work.” How Generative AI Changes Everything is a special series from HBR IdeaCast.

We're delighted to be joined by Adi Ignatius, the Editor in Chief of the Harvard Business Review. HBR is over 100 years old and has created some of the best business content ever produced but few people talk about it as a media force. Last year it made $302 million in revenue, had 11 million monthly visitors to its website, and was followed by tens of millions of people on social media. There's no question it deserves paying closer attention to. That's exactly what Matt and I did in November last year when we did a Business Breakdown Episode on how Harvard Business Publishing works. Ever since that conversation, I've wanted to talk to Adi about the unique model HBR employs and how it operates. Please enjoy this conversation with Adi Ignatius.

He is also host of the HBR Channel. It is the 100th anniversary of Harvard Business Review. Should leaders and organizations take a stand on current events, politics, or causes? Adi and I discuss this tough question in detail. While the answer will be different for every leader, we invite you to begin thinking about how you might approach this in your work. Key Points The traditional advice of “Don't talk about politics and religion” is still the norm in some places, but increasingly leaders and being more vocal. Silence used to be the default. Silence now many send a message that leaders and organizations don't intend to convey. While every leader needs to decide how they will navigate this, beware your feelings of certainty.

The idea that maximizing shareholder value takes legal and practical precedence above all else first came to prominence in the 1970s. The person who arguably did the most to advance the idea was the business school professor Michael Jensen, who wrote in Harvard Business Review and elsewhere that CEOs pursue their own interests at the expense of shareholders' interests. Among other things, he argued for stock-based incentives that would neatly align CEO and shareholder interests. Shareholder primacy rapidly became business orthodoxy. It dramatically changed how and how much executives are compensated. And it arguably distorted capitalism for a generation or more. Critics have long charged that maximizing shareholder value ultimately just encourages CEOs and shareholders to feather their own nests at the expense of everything else: jobs, wages and benefits, communities, and the environment. The past few years have seen a backlash against shareholder capitalism and the rise of so-called stakeholder capitalism. After reigning supreme for half a century, is shareholder value maximization on its way out? 4 Business Ideas That Changed the World is a special series from HBR IdeaCast. Each week, an HBR editor talks to world-class scholars and experts on the most influential ideas of HBR's first 100 years, such as disruptive innovation, scientific management, and emotional intelligence. Discussing shareholder value with HBR editor Adi Ignatius are: Lynn Paine, professor emerita at Harvard Business School Mihir Desai, professor at Harvard Business School Carola Frydman, professor at Kellogg School of Management Further reading: HBR: CEO Incentives—It's Not How Much You Pay, But How, by Michael C.

Use "calculated empathy" Standing up to others like Winston Churchill - He stood up to the opposition. Dunkirk - Leadership when everything changes Ernest Shackleton - He took 27 men to Antarctica How did he avoid mutiny in the midst of huge adversity? He had the trust of his men. They believed he cared about them. Emotional awareness - He addressed their fears - "What can I do to address their fears?" Extraordinary ability to toggle seamlessly between little things like the weather and the big picture. Zoom in and zoom out. Pay attention to the mundane - The daily work schedule. Stick to the routine. And also have a plan to solve the problem. How to lead a remote team: It's reassuring to have your leaders step up and speak the truth. "Here's what we're going to do..." False optimism doesn't help. Honesty is critical. Brutal honesty + credible hope... Share the team's capabilities, the history. "Nothing to fear but fear itself." Great leaders 'feed their team.' Leaders in crisis: Shackleton gave duties to each man. They regularly changed duties to stay fresh. Isolation feeds fear. It feeds the 'worst case scenario' in the minds of people. Shackleton combated that by forcing them to socialize. They told stories, had skits, made up games. He empowered his team. It's important to have rituals that bring you back to a good place. For Nancy: 1) Deep breaths 2) Classical music 3) Walks Adi: Meditates daily, 10 minutes of breath work. Connect, Connect, Connect with others. Say thank you. Shift places depending on the type of work. President Lincoln had no plans for winning the way. "I navigated from point to point." "Great careers are build on passion and the dedication to do the work." Gather years in every career. You do not always need to check off boxes. "Life is long. Don't burn bridges." The benefits of teaching: "It keeps you honest. You have to think like a chess player. You must stoke the fires of curiosity."
