Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between creativity and leadership in educational administration and to determine the effects of a creative leadership program on educational administrators. The study was designed to examine the following hypotheses: 1. There will be a relationship between creativity and leadership for the experimental and control groups prior to treatment. 2. There will be a significant difference in the relationship between creativity and leadership for the experimental and control groups following treatment. 3. There will be a significant longitudinal change in the use of techniques learned in the development program by the experimental group. The subjects were 42 educational administrators of both sexes enrolled in summer school. Twenty-nine of the administrators were enrolled in the creative leadership development program. They were identified as the experimental group. The other 13 administrators were identified as the control group.
