Overview
Why are some people consistently creative and others strikingly unoriginal? David considers the various myths we apply when trying to encourage creativity and offers well-researched facts in their place. Using insight from the wealth of research on organizational creativity, David provides practical implications and realistic strategies for encouraging innovation.
About The Book
We tend to think of creativity in terms reminiscent of the ancient muses: divinely-inspired, unpredictable, and bestowed upon a lucky few. But when our jobs challenge us to be creative on demand, we must develop novel, useful ideas that will keep our organizations competitive. The Myths of Creativity book demystifies the processes that drive innovation. Based on the latest research into how creative individuals and firms succeed, David Burkus highlights the mistaken ideas that hold us back and shows us how anyone can embrace a practical approach, grounded in reality, to finding the best new ideas, projects, processes, and programs.
