It’s not hard to find someone saying that everyone is creative and anyone can learn it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But such a statement makes no sense to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If everybody is creative, having to “learn” implicitly tells that you are not -that is why you have to learn it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you really need to learn is how to manage it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if you are in a toxic environment -have an authoritarian boss, deal with highly competitive colleagues, and do only shallow busy work- you will hardly be creative at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, if you are in a good atmosphere -have an inspiring and supportive leader, trustful colleagues, and do meaningful work- being creative will come to you naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years of teaching and consulting, I developed a personal method to facilitate and clarify each phase of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an inside joke, my clients called it the “Zamana Method”, and I embrace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
