What happens to creativity within organisations...

When creativity disappears within organisations, schools and teams it is all about leadership or the lack of it! If it doesn't receive the ongoing and explicit backing of leaders creativity, innovation and ideas disappear. You can generate all the good ideas in the world but without leadership committed to creativity, innovation and imagination forget it. Research suggests that leadership for creativity is just an important as having creative and imaginative people in the first place. Like with everything else creativity and innovation starts and finishes with the leaders of an organisation who must model the way and develop and support ideas wherever they come from.

The sign on everyone's door must be 'just do it!'
