Creativity in the workplace

One of my core beliefs is that creativity is too often stifled in the workplace. Ideas are ridiculed or ignored and employees are dispirited by this. There are many simple, low-cost ways to bring more ideas to the forefront.

I found a couple of interesting articles on the subject of creativity in the workplace. The first, Unlocking the Creativity Within, gives some simple guidelines to encourage creative thinking. The second, Six Steps for Encouraging Employee Creativity, discusses six ways to actively support and encourage creative thinking and innovation.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
