Titelbeschreibung

Upend your personal status quo and reclaim your natural creativity in every single action you take Everyone claims to value creativity, and businesses are clamouring for disruptive thinking and innovation. Yet we often feel creatively stifled at work, because business processes seem to leave no room for real originality. In this climate, it takes a heroic effort to reclaim our status as independent thinkers, to bring meaning and joy to our work lives and to make lasting changes that will bring value to everyone around us. In Everyday Creative, culture and creative leadership expert Mykel Dixon reveals what’s holding us back from our full creative potential and explains how we can reclaim our original, vibrant selves. Is your ability to think differently hindered by an unconscious view that creativity doesn’t belong in the boardroom? It’s an all-too-common mistake, but the truth is, creativity is fundamental for business growth and personal fulfilment. If you want to survive in the digital era, you need to pursue your own creative sensibilities and foster creativity in your team. This book shows that original thinking can shake things up, becoming the source of our competitive advantage and a key driver of sustainable success. <ul> <li>Recognise your own unconventional talent and creative potential</li> <li>Transform yourself into a more vibrant and resilient human being ready to lead the world in the fourth industrial revolution</li> <li>Cultivate dynamic team environments where people feel safe to explore dangerous ideas</li> <li>Instigate a high-level cultural and strategic pivot toward more creativity in your company</li> </ul> Everyday Creative is about creative leadership and the courage to seek, nurture and liberate original thinking.

Back cover copy

WANT TO BE MORE CREATIVE? DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START? YOU’RE NOT ALONE… We all have a dysfunctional relationship with creativity. We love it, value it and want more of it but just can’t seem to find the time or resources to give to it. And despite desperate calls for more innovative thinking, the systems and processes that hold most businesses together don’t allow or enable anything like it. This book is for anyone who feels like they have more to give but struggles to get it out. Packed full of powerful, practical and poetic tools, this inspiring and infectious read will help you cut through the barriers that prevent creativity at work while giving you the clarity and confidence to unleash your wild, untamed self-expression into every pocket of your personal and professional life. In the emerging economic climate, creativity isn’t just the strongest driver of your competitive advantage, it’s the foundation of a meaningful, adaptive and fulfilling career. Everyday Creative shows you how to make magic with the mundane, find joy in your current job and transform your everyday work into a work of art.
