Can everyone be creative all the time? No. First, before a person can focus their energy on being creative, they need to satisfy their more basic needs. In 1943, Abraham Maslow came up with his groundbreaking Hierarchy of Needs, published as A theory of human motivation. In it, he outlined the theory that people need to satisfy their most basic needs before they can focus on more complex needs.

I've spoken recently with a number of people employed by companies, large and small, and to a number of consultants. The list of challenges most businesses face in the aftermath of COVID is rather significant. Many businesses are finding it difficult to find the workers they need, and those that do have the workers are struggling with remote or in person work issues.

Last weekend felt like the beginning of the beginning. Like many here in the US, my family celebrated the start of summer by joining two other families for a camping trip. We planned the trip this winter when Covid rates were soaring, and we were under Shelter in Place orders. We desperately needed to look forward to something. We knew the reservations might be canceled, but we forged ahead.

I am a big fan of the TV show Dragon’s Den (UK), also called Shark Tank (USA). It is always entertaining to watch the inventors trying to get support for their new ideas and inventions, which they are convinced are going to change the world. However, an invention is not the same as an innovation. It is also significantly less likely to succeed than an innovation.

Shark Tank has been around in some form or another since 2001, with the Japanese series “Money Tigers.” Yet the basic concept is simple: entrepreneurs pitch their idea to a panel of investors, who will pick their idea apart before deciding whether or not to invest. Usually, a dollar amount is set for a small but significant percentage of the company.

What happens in the brain when we are having an idea? Why is it that we sometimes get our best ideas when we are not even thinking about them, like in the shower ? What is actually happening in the brain a complex combination of conscious and unconscious activities that interact with one another, trying to find creative solutions to a challenge. Only when a possible solution is found does the brain become aware of it through an “Aha” or “Eureka” moment.

Innovation is an emerging profession that substantially differs from managing a business and is not the same as traditional R&D. The myth around innovation is that “it’s all coming up with brand new products or services”. In reality, the business model that accompanies the product is just as if not more important to its success - something that organizations tend to forget.

During this unique period of technology-driven transformation, the education sector has so far been slow to embrace the power of digital tools that can be used to accelerate learning.

One of the skills that all of us need to develop as we want to be and behave like a leader is to develop the skills of an improv actor. The foundational aspect of any improv actor is the ability to be fully present in the moment and respond to their stimuli. As leaders, we need to be able to do that as well. So, if our stimuli requires us to be a coach, we need to be able to channel our inner coach.
