Originality isn’t enough…creative also means being appropriate, useful and actionable. It must somehow influence the way "business" gets done: Improving a product, a new process, or way to more effectively communicate with customers. Creativity can benefit every function of an organization. To many people, creativity refers to the way people think – how a problem is solved, for instance. There are 3 components of creativity: (1) Expertise; (2) Creative-thinking skills; (3) Motivation. Expertise is what a person knows and can do within the domain of his/her work. Creative thinking refers to how people approach challenges and solutions. Creativity is generally enhanced when a person departs from the status quo…tries something entirely new, even disagrees with other workers. Expertise and creative thinking are a person’s raw materials – his/her natural resources. Motivation determines what a person will do. Regardless of a person’s education, experience, and ability to ‘see’ new perspectives to old problems, if he/she lacks the motivation to do a particular job, he/she won’t do it…expertise and creative thinking will go untapped or be applied elsewhere. Researchers tell us there are 2 types of motivation: Extrinsic and Intrinsic. Extrinsic (from the outside) is like a carrot or a stick. These motivations make someone do the job to get something desirable or avoid something painful. Money is mostly used…it doesn’t necessarily stop people from being creative, but often it doesn’t help. In most instances, money doesn’t make employees passionate about their jobs. Passion and interest – a person’s internal desire to do something – are what intrinsic motivation is all about. What You Can Do To Enhance Creativity
