Creativity* --------jaico
The three main characteristics that seem to
be linked to creativity are flexibility, persistence, and the ability
to recombine elements to achieve insights. Also key is the ability to
break down huge systems into smaller interrelated subsystems and
determine how they function together, then to recombine these to form a
comprehensible “whole picture” framework to work with.
One of the more important elements that an organization can take to make
the creative process more likely to occur and even flourish is an
organizational climate that is conductive to the free flow of ideas. The
environment under which people work can act as a stimulant to bring out
their innovativeness. Inhibition and misconceptions act as roadblocks.
Aimless and undirected activity does not bring about innovation.
Endeavors must be planned and organized. Motivation is essential to
successful innovation and reward is the single most important motivator.
