Flippo Brunelleschi was once only known as a man with crazy ideas. In Florence, the great Catholic Church was left without its dome for more than a decade; many engineers tried but found it impossible because of its size and weights. But Brunelleschi with his hidden talent, he finished the dome in year 1436 and people started to recognize him as the most talented engineer in Florence.
I believe creative leadership was the most important prompts to Filipo Brunelleschi in building his dome. This is because he proofed his ideas by using eggs. First, he asked others if they can make an egg stand with its tip. Everyone failed. Then, he broke the egg's tip a bit and the egg stood up. If he hasn't done this, people would have not even tried to help him building his dome, because this creative leadership led people trust him and his theory about dome.
