Unlocking Your Creative Potential in Business
Have you ever noticed how children approach a blank page? With excitement rather than fear, seeing possibilities where adults see only constraints. This natural creativity-the ability to find innovative solutions to complex problems-isn't just for artists. It's the missing ingredient in modern business, where we've become dangerously imbalanced, favoring analytics over creativity. Consider Apple's near-collapse when Steve Jobs was ousted, as the company prioritized metrics and margins over innovation. Only when Jobs returned with his creative vision did Apple transform into the trillion-dollar company we know today. This pattern repeats across industries-businesses operating at half capacity because they've forgotten how to harness their creative potential. The good news? This creativity isn't something you need to acquire-it's already within you, waiting to be reawakened.
