Outside The Box
Thinking "outside the box" or "coloring outside the lines" is a popular idea in the business world today. People and organizations are told to think outside the box or color outside the lines as a way to stimulate creativity when they need to solve problems like streamlining production, establishing a new product, or developing a new process. And it's true that creativity and innovation often arise from unexpected and unconventional thinking.

The Truth About Creativity
The concept of creativity is over 50,000 years old and has always been an inherent talent in Homo sapiens -- human beings, as we know them now. It was not an inherent talent in Neanderthal man. Michael Ray, a Stanford professor who teaches a course on creativity, says that creativity exists within everyone. He believes that when people can’t tap into their creativity, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Instead, it means that the creativity is being suppressed by what he terms as the voice of judgment – what I term as the inner censor. That’s what gets the blame for destroying self-esteem.

Innovation minus Support = Zero Creation
There is an abundance of creativity in our world. Humanity is replete with inspirational people who have enormous value to contribute in their own ways - yet most are never seen or heard. As a collective society, we seldom encourage others to take a path of innovation because it's untested, risky, and breaks convention and related reputations.
The Power of Your Child’s Imagination by Charlotte Reznick PhD
I'm a firm believer that we need to encourage creativity in children. There are many businesses where creativity is crucial - how many successful entrepreneurs do you know that have limited creativity? The ones I know - are very creative in many areas of their business. We all know that children are the entrepreneurs of the future and it seems the creativity many of us take for granted isn't encouraged in children in the 21st century. So - this review is about a book that I hope parents and other people who work with children will take a close look at. Dr Reznick gives us wonderful tools to help develop a child's imagination and creativity, but also to help children be happier. For all the parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, mentors etc - this is a book you need to read.

Only when we embrace innovation as a conscious and continuous part of our daily actions can we reap the will rewards of innovation.
