Taking original ideas and scaling them into the creation of new products and services. We are all born with a capacity to be creative, and we get it beaten out
15、of us in the schools that we go to. We have to relearn it, and its not that hard.How can we be more creative? Creativity is all about making connections and seeing patterns. Its not a light bulb that goes off in your head. Before that light bulb goes off, lots of things are happening - lots of ideas
16、. We need time to step back and make connections between those things. We need to stop being hyper-connected and deliberately take a moment to be mindful about what were doing.People often associate creativity with solo artists, but in fact, cooperation cultivates creativity more often than working
