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. Today, we all are responsible for delivering "everyday creativity". Small creative acts that add up to big things.

Is the game plan you are currently running the most direct path to your destiny?

Anyone can notice wrong answers. It takes the creative person to notice the wrong questions.

When you ask "why", "what if" and "why not" you force yourself to explore what's possible and not just what is.

The inhibitor of creativity isn't potential it's fear. We worry about saying the wrong thing or looking foolish so we govern our imagination.

I admire mold-breakers. People that bust free from traditional thinking and change the game completely. Steve Jobs. Charlie Parker (jazz saxophonist). The Groupon guys. Seth Godin (author). People who dare to be different and end up creating something truly different and remarkable.

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