This document summarizes a lecture about disciplined creativity. It discusses how Western thinking focuses on logic, evidence, and reductionism which can inhibit creativity. However, creativity requires intuition, holistic thinking, and making surprising connections. The lecture argues that businesses need to shift from solely focusing on administration to also valuing invention. It provides tips for developing creativity including recognizing your creative DNA, exploring before judging, and being willing to fail. The key is building a creative ecosystem with transformational leadership, a company soul, and balancing analysis with originality.
Our latest white paper shares new global research based on 7000 employee surveys in the US, Brazil, UK, Germany, Australia, Singapore and China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. We look at questions like: Can anyone be creative? How do employers build creative cultures? Is playing at work the answer? What are the business rewards of inspiring creativity—and the risks of failing to?
A look at creativity styles, characteristics, and research that set the stage for creativity to happen, weaving in references to other information sources.
Here are the key steps I would take to reach consensus in this situation:
1. Remain calm and assess the situation objectively. Take stock of resources and risks.
2. Consult with others to share perspectives and gather input. Listen actively without judgment.
3. Identify clear options and their pros and cons. Focus on needs, not preferences.
4. Look for creative solutions and compromises. Building on others' ideas can yield unexpected options.
5. Vote if needed, but aim for consensus. Unanimity motivates better than majority rule.
6. Designate roles and agree clear next steps. Jointly monitor progress to course-correct as needed.
Working together respect
Salaries of 5 managers x 30 minutes = 150 minutes = 2.5 hours
Average hourly rate of senior manager = €100/hour
Cost of 30 minute meeting = 2.5 hours x €100/hour = €250
So a 30 minute meeting with 5 senior managers costs the organisation €250.
Greg identifies as a creative person who manifests innovative solutions in his roles as a father, husband, educator, and student. He analyzes himself based on the 10 faces of innovation: anthropologist, experimenter, cross-pollinator, hurdler, collaborator, director, experience architect, set designer, caregiver, and storyteller. For each role, he describes how it relates to him, noting skills he excels at and areas he could improve, such as becoming better at listening, developing interactions, and telling stories. Overall, Greg sees potential to create new experiences and organizations that exceed expectations by embracing divergent thinking, experimenting with solutions, and pursuing innovative approaches.
014 the wisdom of dee hock from birth of the chaordic ageStephen Remedios
Dee Hock outlines principles for a new "Chaordic" age of leadership and management. He argues that success will depend less on authority and control, and more on reason, judgment, motivation and internal discipline. True leaders lead themselves first, and empower followers through choice rather than coercion. Hock emphasizes hiring for integrity over experience, and compensating for belief over money alone. Forms will change, but preserving substance and distinguishing the two is key. Leadership requires managing oneself, superiors, and peers equally.

1. Be Creative!
2. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What helps you to be creative?
3. “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” Mary Lou Cook
4. The Target of Life is a very helpful way to understand our individual and collective well-being.
5. When you’re centered in the heart of the Target of Life, you’re at your best and life seems brighter. You see clearly and therefore make optimal decisions. You feel peaceful, loving, energetic, and happy. You’re in a good position to handle just about anything. However, when things happen that go against our desires and expectations, it’s easy to get pulled off center.
6. We experience more fear and negativity. We say and do things we regret. The immune system weakens and our productivity declines. We lose touch with what’s really important to us. Unhealthy stress increases and our sensitivity toward others decreases. And the further away from the center we move, the worse it gets!
7. That’s why it’s so important to catch early signs of stress, and to use all of our creativity to stay as centered as possible. When we are centered in the heart on the Target of Life, difficulties still crop up, but we can handle them much more smoothly and effectively. The more centered we are, the greater our well-being, the wiser our choices, and the more effective we are in everything we do.
8. Creativity is the power to bring something new and useful into existence.
9. You are an enormously creative person! That creativity is always within you, and you must express it in order to experience the satisfaction and joy that is your birthright.
10. Terrorism, widespread public scandals, economic uncertainties, international conflicts, and a host of other problems have launched us into a turbulent, yet potential-filled 21st century. Has the full measure of our creativity ever been needed more?
11. A life brimming with creativity is no longer the luxury of a few; it’s the duty and privilege of all of us.
12. Group Activity SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTION: What are some factors that keep people from becoming more creative?
13. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Roadblocks that typically prevent capable people from expressing their creativity more fully: Thinking “I’m not very creative.” Fear of criticism from others. “That’s not my job.” Stress, Laziness, Self-Criticism. “There’s only one right way.”
14. CAUTION! Roadblocks Ahead Wasting time on nonessentials. “You have to follow the rules.” Too much talk, too little doing. Fear of failure. Resistance to change. Limiting beliefs. Worrying about who gets credit. Lack of faith.
15. Though we express it in different ways and to varying degrees, creativity is a gift that has been given in abundance to each of us.
16. Continually remind yourself of this truth: You are a

Moving Ahead In The Creative Class 2008 UpdateKenneth Kovach
As creator of CREATIVITY CAMP with Gary Bunch, we work with companies seeking a better way to tap into the creativity of their employees. We will help you reframe the reality of your workplace and assist your team in exploring the barriers to unleashing their own creativity.
1) The document discusses finding personal and organizational greatness through discovering one's unique talents and voice and inspiring others to do the same.
2) It outlines developing the whole person including the mind, spirit, heart and body, and balancing talents, needs, conscience and passion.
3) Effective leadership is described as setting direction through vision and character, mobilizing commitment, and developing capability through teams and change.
Most people are born creative. As children, we revel in imaginary play, ask outlandish questions, draw blobs and call them dinosaurs. But over time, because of socialization and formal education, a lot of us start to stifle those impulses. We learn to be warier of judgment, more cautious, more analytical. The world seems to divide into “creatives” and “noncreatives,” and too many people consciously or unconsciously resign themselves to the latter category.
And yet we know that creativity is essential to success in any discipline or industry. According to a recent IBM survey of chief executives around the world, it’s the most sought-after trait in leaders today. No one can deny that creative thinking has enabled the rise and continued success of countless companies, from start-ups like Facebook and Google to stalwarts like Procter & Gamble and General Electric.
In this presentation you will discover why you lost your creative confidence—the natural ability to come up with new ideas and the courage to try them out, and how to restore it back.

“Appreciative Inquiry is the cooperative search for the best in people, their organizations, and the world around them. It involves systematic discover of what gives a system ‘life’ when it is most effective and capable in economic, ecological, and human terms.” Cooperrider, D.L. & Whitney, D
It is a methodology aimed at the development of the organization based on the assumption that inquiry into and dialogue about strengths, successes, values, hopes and dreams is in itself transformational.
The process used to generate the power of Appreciative Inquiry is the 4-D Cycle:
Discovery - Dream - Design - Destiny
Discovery: The Discovery phase is a diligent and extensive search to understand the "best of what is" and "the best of what has been."
Dream: The Dream phase is an energizing exploration of "what might be:"
Design: The Design phase involves making choices about "what should be" within an organization or system.
Destiny: The Destiny phase initiates a series of inspired actions that support ongoing learning and innovation - or "what will be."
School leaders and teachers are searching for a purpose and a sense of identity. We want more than just pay; we want a ‘sense of mission’. When you believe in a professional way of doing your job you have to be able to transmit this to all the people involved in teaching/learning process.
The Appreciative Inquiry methodology helps to create our identity and to transmit our values and beliefs. Educational institutions need to be knowledge rich, adaptable and permanently changing. We need to be able to design curricula according to our student’s individual needs.
This document discusses concepts related to leadership and influence. It begins with definitions of leadership as the art of influencing human behavior toward organizational goals. It then explores various aspects of leadership such as it being an art, the range of influence, focusing on human behavior, and directing behavior toward goals. The document provides examples and analogies to poker to illustrate leadership concepts such as watching human behavior, leading by example, integrity, and innovation.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
