摘要：The complexity of today's organizations requires creative imagination on the part of both leaders and organizational members. One way for leaders to face the complex environment and to influence creativity in their followers is through a Biblical–theological aesthetic of imagination and creativity, which is concerned with values of beauty, truth, and goodness. Imagination and creativity are God-given gifts that allow human beings to evoke these values. Aesthetic leaders can cultivate these values within the organization by relating stories that stimulate both cognitive and emotive responses. The parables of Jesus offer an example of how leaders can imaginatively communicate a vision for the organization and inspire creativity in their followers.
