Most think as an OR. This OR that. The most successful among us think as an AND. This AND that.

Innovation is a subset of creativity. Innovation often deals with product launches and is often relegated to the C-suite or to heads of R&D departments. Innovation requires creativity, but creativity is something that is much more broad. It applies to people at all levels of an organization.

Fear is the single biggest blocker of creativity.

People who behave rarely make history.

Creativity is not a talent; It is a skill. A talent is something you are born with. A skill is something you learn.

Institutions too often focus their energy preserving the problem to which they are a solution than to innovate their way to success.
