Did we mention that John Maeda is speaking at #IMPRINTPRESENTS next week?? Just kidding – we’ve been broadcasting it everywhere, including the banner currently at the top of this page. But since our talk with him is coming right up, I figured it would be a good time to share a couple of videos from some of his most popular talks online. The “New Tao of Leadership” is a great video from Big Think, which discusses the differences between traditional leadership and modern creative leadership:
Next up, we have “How art, technology and design inform creative leaders” which was recorded at TEDGlobal in October 2012:
And last but not least, here’s a much older video, “Designing for simplicity” from back when John was at MIT Media Lab, recorded at TED in 2007, which relates to his novel The Laws of Simplicity:
Hopefully those videos give you a great sense of what he’s about, which topics interest him, and how his mind works! If you’re looking for more Maeda, check out some of his many web properties including Maeda Studio, Design and Venture, Laws of Simplicity, Redesigning Leadership, What Is Design, and Creative Leadership.
