I heard someone say in a meeting that creativity is developing something that was not previously in existence. It does not necessarily mean a new product or brand new idea.  It may be a system or process for doing something. It may be an approach to reminding employees of how to do a job more safely. It may be a way of keeping your company values at the forefront. It may be a repackaging of a checklist so it is easier to use.  It may be seeing missing details.  It may be bringing a complex issue into a simple analogy that makes it understandable.

Too many people I talk to say they are not creative, but they are. They continuously improve on a daily basis what is around them so it is higher impact, easier to use, more readable, etc.

If everyone had that perspective of creativity, they would realize that they are creative and bring even more creativity.  We need to reward people that do this!

• Do you know how each person on your core team is creative in their own way?

• How do you match the people on your team with situations where they can use that creativity and shine?

• Does your team believe that you fully utilize their abilities?
