Leaders in an organization may energise the people they manage, causing them to approach tasks actively and
enthusiastically, as they have high levels of confidence in their ability to succeed (Lam & O'Higgins, 2012).
Several studies have investigated both the direct link (Mathisen et al., 2012) between leadership factors
(Schechter& Ganon, 2012) and employee creativity (Thamizhmanii & Hasan, 2010). In other words, managers
might not only ask themselves whether their team is working at its potential performance level (Humborstad &
Perry, 2011), but also whether the team can go beyond the expected performance level based on the capabilities
of its individual members (Hertel, 2011).
