In exploring characteristics of leadership, in particular diversity management and creativity, this research has three aims as follows: 1) to discover what characteristics Japanese and non-Japanese organizations value when choosing employees, especially when dealing with diversity issues and creativity 2) to discover how Japanese young adults and parents view diversity, creativity and other leadership qualities 3) to discover what the connections exist between diversity management and creativity as leadership qualities
