The Secret of Super-Fast Shark Swimming
Researchers have discovered what makes the shark almost impossible to outswim. By using an engineering imaging technique, researchers have discovered that as a shark’s tail swings from side to side, it creates twice as many jets of water as other fishes’ tails, smoothing out the thrust and likely making swimming more efficient. Sharks do this by stiffening the tail midswing, a strategy that might one day be applied to underwater vehicles to improve their performance.
“The authors have made a persuasive argument that muscles in the fin are modifying the shape and possibly the texture of the fin to modify the [water] flow” throughout the stroke cycle, says Frank Fish, a biomechanist at West Chester University in Pennsylvania.
Biomimicry, or the practice of developing technologies inspired by nature, is fascinating. Aline Wolff, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Management Communication Program, Stern School of Business; New York University will speak on “Biomimicry: The Newest Approach to Innovation” at CLA in January.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lviucyVFJv1qbn5m1o1_500.jpg)

Participate in CLA Lesson #4: Draw Like Picasso:
Better defined results and solutions. Creative problem solving requires attention to detail that you may have skimmed over in the past. By focusing on the details of the problem, we can create a more defined solution and a more defined action.
CLA is the professional development solution that’s answering the call to action in what many are calling the “creative state of crisis”

A letter from CLA’s Chief Conductor of Ceremony
Few things in life are as elegant. Few things nurture the soul AND the bottom line. Few things can change people, industries, and the world. One of these is Creativity. I have devoted the last twenty five years to the topic and am thrilled to be curating The Creative Leadership Academy. In this role, I’ll be editing the excellence from around the world, and packaging it up in a few provocatively designed days. Bring your passion for the topic, as well as the panic that lives in all of us who want to create - both more, and better. Create yourself. Create your business. Create some real change.
Andy Stefanovich, Prophet
As Chief Curator and Provocateur at Prophet, Andy Stefanovich has earned a reputation as one of the most disruptive and effective advisors in business, Andy’s true passion lies in guiding clients through the powerful evolution from inspiration to creativity to innovation. He teaches practical skills, leadership behaviors, and specific processes for developing and implementing ideas at work.
The Creative Leadership Academy would like to offer anyone who registers a complimentary copy of Look at More, by Andy Stefanovich, Chief Curator and Provocateur of Prophet and Curator of our January event. This is no ordinary book about innovation. Rather, it’s a guided tour of the best ways to harness inspiration by thinking differently ─ and encouraging others to do the same. Andy shares insights into his given LAMSTAIH approach (Look At More Stuff, Think About It Harder) as well as his 5 Ms (Mood, Mindset, Mechanisms, Measurement, Momentum) providing detailed instructions, plus dozens of stories that illustrate what innovation looks like in action and how new ideas and offers are born.
Enrollment limited to 150. Sign up today to begin your journey.
Albert Einstein defines insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Are you expecting different results from the same performance year after year? Is your company inviting continued disruption, or inching along through incremental change? CREATIVITY is the core competency every business leader needs to be able to solve problems in an increasingly complex world. The Creative Leadership Academy is your personal and professional wakeup call.
Uniquely designed to uncover, unleash and develop the business leader’s creative talents as a core competency, The Creative Leadership Academy is engineered around a three pronged holistic approach. CLA illustrates the value of creatively, inspires disruptive thinking and transforms the business leader into an architect of tangible creative. CLA combines real world examples demonstrating creativity in practice + provocateurs whose profound and visionary perspectives will stretch your mind + the physical act of creation as an integrated hands-on experience. Together, we will understand by seeing; believe by hearing; and achieve by doing.
