Abstract

Human leadership and creativity constitute one of the most important factors of progress and economic development. However, it is known that creativity is undergoing a decline with the cognitive abilities and vital powers of people decreasing with age. This paper aims at describing the main benefits of enhancing the leadership and creativity traits of the old people. The results demonstrate that special targeted approaches and creative activities help elderly, to alleviate the burdens of the role change, find meaning of daily activities, tackle some physical conditions, and to better social and personal life with more life satisfaction. The leading approaches to indorsing creativity in old age might include special targeted programmes such as art therapy, moderate exercises, meditations, and other useful techniques.
