S.P.R.E.A.D.ng Creative Thinking can be a Daily Process
Over the past 30 years of working with people in different occupations, fields and professions from small companies or agencies to parts of large corporations I have observed that where creativity happens the most is where it is...
SUPPORTED
PROMOTED
RECOGNIZED
ENCOURAGED
APPLIED
DEVELOPED
consciously and unconsciously.
Let's start with examples of SUPPORTING.
1. accepting new ideas in meetings without criticism
2. providing time and resources for people to work on ideas in addition to their normal work
3. checking in with them on their progress
4. letting them share their ideas and progress in future meetings
5. being conscious of how with react to new ideas even those that seem strange initially
6. asking for the most unique ideas as well as the most immediately practical.
How else do you support creative thinking in yourself and others?
