"When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked if he could do anything for the famous teacher, Diogenes replied:" Just stand out of my light. "Maybe one day we will know how to increase creativity and even then, one of the best things that you can do for men and women creative is to stand out from its light." - John Gardner
shine light on creativity. Let the work of the creative process. It is clear that the identification of goals and objectives. Give your employees the support and freedom to get to those goals and then get out of its light. In this environment, team members will feel the powers to create new ideas and innovative solutions to old problems. It will be expected of potential barriers and alternative routes planned quickly. Allowed to approach the free flow of the work of a powerful company - work is not busy producing.
former colleague, Sarah, at one time worked for the city government. She told me a fascinating story of the most important results of the appearance. Sarah found worked best when she organized her work and kept only what was necessary on her desk. Her boss called her in to his office and told her she did not seem to have enough work to do what was almost empty office. Sarah joint solution to it, "I stacked folders, brochures and newspapers all over my desk and on the floor. I put a post-it notes on my computer and office. No one cares about me again on the burden of my own work."
This is a classic example of the District. Sarah coach did not like the staff to stand out or look like they were not part of his "business model." He clung to arbitrary standards, established by that exceed performance. He was more concerned that Sarah looks like she was busy with more than about the quality or quantity of the work already completed. People work in different ways. Sarah prefers order and cleanliness. Effective leader focuses on results and productivity, not individual work habits. Simply looking busy is meaningless. During a meeting with the employee to discuss performance, allow him or her to explain how they plan to meet deadlines and complete tasks.
some managers may say they agree to try a different system or change the ways of dealing with the problem. However, in some cases, their words are hollow. Craig, a colleague, is an ordained minister. As you will see from his previous experience, and sometimes it's not just about saving busy people, it is also about using deception to manage potential problems, and create the illusion of change and flexibility. Craig was hired as a resource for pastors and churches to facilitate change. The doctrine announced a number of changes, which Craig explained. Eventually he became frustrated by Craig promised changes did not happen. He explained to the members of the Council that failure to follow through with the changes would lead to a significant slide in morale. He concluded by saying, "The consensus of the Council to let me go instead of managing large changes."
management can be downright difficult at times. With a myriad of problems that seem emerging from the phone and the leak from the computer on a desk, promised changes may look like a great idea to stave off unrest. Craig's experience demonstrates how little deception could be coveted by the entire team. It was easy. He promised changes, but do not actually make the changes. This is at best a temporary solution. It can only be interpreted as promises away for a short period. Labor relations are like checking accounts. Each broken promise adversaries Bank Trust Department. Leader maintains a positive balance in the account by keeping his promises, no matter how small. Craig refused to run a negative balance and moved on with his life.
There are times when it seems clearly defined goals, is actually a little progress so far on the project's progress is going on. He said creative director can step in and work with the group to explore the cause and effect of current efforts-the lack of luster. It should be done in a non-confrontational, allowing each member to provide ideas and reflect on the results, and help to find solutions.
I owned once in a medium-sized manufacturing company that provides the hospitality industry with framed art. We were having some serious issues with shipping finished artwork to clients. We use cardboard boxes on wooden pallets. Damaged products is common, but it seems no one is able to think of a way to solve the problem. We have tried several methods of packaging, and many different types of protective wrapping and various connectivity technologies.
Finally, in frustration problem it presented at a staff meeting open. An employee at the age of nineteen years he worked for me for about three weeks, I asked a simple question, "How many boxes, platforms and the cost of packaging and protective?" The teenager then with a solution that was elegant in it's simplicity. said: "Oh my God, so a lot of money can build wooden boxes." I've lost in the woods. I saw a tree!
told meMary, a former teacher, the story of "great ideas" that could be the theft of value through busy work does not anticipate barrier. He studied in a private school where he was to urge the upper grades to interact with the teacher and lower grade students. This has encouraged older students to know the truth material well before having the opportunity to teach younger children. Listen children in the lower grades and answered older students, so the situation was right and useful as an educational tool. The new director on board, and decided that the fastest learners should be assigned additional material to keep occupied while the "slowdown children" trapped. Description Mary was the result, "Unfortunately, children who learn quickly began caressing the first tasks because they knew more finished, more uninteresting, Fantasy" busy work "that they will be allocated."
For example, Mary can occur in any workplace. One bright employee has a great idea. Enthusiasm group gives the project "Go!" Before the study of the potential barriers. A senior leader allows what I call "creative incubation." Managers must allow time for the idea to completely develop. Make sure that the idea of ready before introducing it in the workplace.
everywhere after it®Notes is a great example of the creative idea to give time to work their way to success. After it®Notes, as we know it today, it was not the product planned. Spencer Silver was working in the 3M research laboratories trying to find a strong adhesive. It developed a new adhesive silver, but it was weaker than 3M already manufactured. They stuck to things, but can be easily launched. Isaac boss did not create silver. In fact, the spread of information management about the discovery of other scientists who work at 3M. Another world, Arthur Fry, using adhesive Silver signs coat page. With adhesive weak, page markers remain in place, but lifted without damaging the paper pages.
3M began distributing thereafter ®Notes the country in 1980. This has encouraged the exchange of creative ideas at 3M and the result is the development of one of the most popular office products available today.

Set the parameters and allow people to flex the muscles of innovation they have. Remember, creativity comes willingly team members who feel appreciated and valued.
