Creativity At Work – The Alchemy of Leadership
I found this article particularly interesting,
especially the part about creating the conditions for transformation. I feel
that is was very correct in stating that you cannot transform others without first
transforming yourself. Inner work has to do with transforming leaden thinking
into the malleable gold of wisdom; knowing who you are and what you stand for,
and striving toward excellence based on your talents and potential.
Transformation also requires humility, deep listening, creative expression, the
willingness to step into the unknown and risk failure, all things we have
learned over the course of the semester in ENDS 101.
American Creativity Association – RSA Animate – The Divided Brain
This post of a video of the division of a brain
affected me by dispelling the notion I had previously that one side of the
brain is more creative and the other is more analytical. In fact, different
parts of the brain affect different cognitive abilities, but it is not an even
split down the middle.
Entrepreneur – Steve Jobs’ 13 Most Inspiring Quotes
I loved the quote that Steve Jobs said that was, “Creativity
is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something,
they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.
It seemed obvious to them after a while.” I liked this because it made me
understand that creativity does not rely solely on the creator, it depends on
their perceptions of the environment they are confronted with. Thus, creativity
partially stems from a more conducive environment.
