Article regarding artistic directors encouraging creativity in their organizations, involving the contributions of Charles Handy. McCarthy suggests that ballet company directors, in order to encourage innovation, should set aside a certain amount of assets or funding for new work. He goes on to provide examples of prominent ballet directors who have put his suggestion into practice, and how young dancers, exercising their own individuality and flexibility, will be initiators for change as they work with directors on creative decisions. McCarthy then highlights how little management experience most directors have, and how Handy suggests that new directors seek mentors both in their own ranks and from managers outside the world of dance.
