The real role of leadership in education ... is not and should not be command and control. The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility.

You can't just give someone a creativity injection. You have to create an environment for curiosity and a way to encourage people and get the best out of them.

It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential-in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities-we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative.

Education doesn't need to be reformed- it needs to be transformed.

Being wrong doesn't mean being creative - but if you aren't afraid of being wrong, you can't be creative.

Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value - more often than not, comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things

The first task in teaching for creativity in any field is to encourage people to believe in their creative potential and to nurture the confidence to try.
