Creativity and leadership spring from the same source. Leaders emerge when one brave soul ventures forth and offers a plan of action. Follow me, I know the way. Choosing to follow that path is an implicit acceptance of the leader's vision.
Creativity is the physical manifestation of a vision. Making this vision a physical reality opens the visionary to judgement. Like the strong leader, a talented creator's sense of worth and accomplishment does not derive from the views of others. The compulsion to endure the creative process wells up from deep down in the creator's soul.
There is no manual for creativity. There are countless guides and suggestions on how to be creative available online, but the only way to be creative is to create something. There is no manual for leadership either. The only way to demonstrate leadership is to lead.
Act boldly to make your vision a reality.
