Creativity involves conceiving something original or unusual, whether an idea, product, or process. Innovation is the implementation of something new. Creativity does not necessarily lead to innovation, as a creative idea may not be implemented. Factors that influence individual creativity include expertise in a field, creative thinking skills, and intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation. Barriers to creativity can exist at the mindset, personal, and organizational levels and include rigid thinking, fear of failure, and an emphasis on control. Developing one's creativity involves techniques such as brainstorming, becoming an expert, idea mapping, and challenging oneself to try new approaches.the 7 habits Be proactive

This document discusses the concept of being proactive based on the work of Stephen Covey. It defines proactive behavior as making choices independent of outside conditions by using the space between a stimulus and response. Proactive people take responsibility for their behavior and choices, do not blame others, and are able to control how they respond to circumstances. In contrast, reactive people allow outside influences to control their responses and blame conditions for their behavior. The document provides examples of proactive versus reactive language and suggests ways to develop more proactive behavior through self-awareness tests and setting goals.

There is a distinction between global self-confidence, which is a personality trait, and situation-specific self-confidence, which is believing you can succeed at a given task. Bandura's self-efficacy theory describes situation-specific self-confidence. For developing self-confidence as a beginner, four elements are effective: successful performance, vicarious experience through modeling, verbal persuasion through encouragement, and emotional arousal. Self-talk, once mastered, can be an effective coping strategy to overcome anxiety, increase self-confidence, and improve technique.Creative thinking

His tests showed that creative levels and skills could be measured and increased through practice. Creative thinking involves looking at problems with a fresh perspective to suggest unorthodox solutions.

油
I just returned from India where I supported UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) and the Indian government training department in their efforts to create government institutions of excellence across an immense country that is the worlds third largest economy.
I was impressed by the dedicated, bright, enthusiastic Indian government and UNDP staff who were always up for a challenge. Both institutions are poised to help India move toward being a middle income country, while addressing human development and environmental sustainability (not just economic development).
I saw common themes that appear in many bureaucracies, perhaps exacerbated by cultural influences:
Waiting for others to do something rather than feeling empowered to initiate
Taking time to get out of the box
Wanting more support for insightful innovations
Needing to work beyond silos, but not knowing how to begin
Buried in analytics and the micro, but with intelligence to see the big picture and think critically
While these issues are typical in bureaucracies, UNDP has undergone two years of radical change and a new culture is beginning to emerge. A fresh batch of new leaders with a positive, entrepreneurial spirit have been put in key positions and are beginning to steer the UNDP ship in a new way, though many continue to live the old culture. Some staff are taking bold initiatives to make their corner of the UN more effective and responsive. Whats more: UNDP is being asked by their clients, governments around the world, to help them change in similar ways.
They have the intention to move toward excellence and increased effectiveness and they've taken a first step: looking at ways to work differently than before and to transform organizational culture. I trust that my interactive interventions made a difference to help both institutions move toward their goals. Ive shared some of my presentation* below on building strengths, leading in challenging times and best practices, including:
Shared vision, aligned action
Networked solutions (beyond silos), strong partnerships
Thinking outside the box
Confidence to model values, be yourself and move through conflict
Listening deeply and seeing the big picture
These capacities are supplemented by the great work UNDP is doing to streamline its processes, which is another side of bureaucratic effectiveness.
What surprised me the most was how empowered the women were to speak up, to advocate and to take action in a culture where they are not always heard. I was also surprised by the intense energy, enthusiasm and drive of participants; if this is a high-leverage project to transform Indian government, its moving in the right direction!

This document outlines a presentation on using improvisation and design thinking in science and mathematics teaching. It discusses how improvisation involves divergent thinking and an improvisational mindset. Design thinking is presented as a process that can enhance improvisation, with steps like empathizing with students, defining problems, ideating solutions, prototyping ideas, and testing. An example is given of how these approaches could be used in a lesson on Charles' Law, by developing a hands-on activity to demonstrate the concept using everyday objects. The presentation argues that improvisation and design thinking can make science and math more engaging, accessible and understandable for students.Becoming a PR Leader: The Art and Science of Mentorship
