Creativity loves restraint.
Give people
a vision, rules about how to get
there and deadlines. People
think of creativity as this sort
of unbridled thing, but
engineers thrive on constraints.
They love to think their way out
of that little box: 'We know you
said it was impossible, but
we're going to do this, this,
and that to get us there.' |

If you give people tools, and they use
their natural ability and their curiosity, they will develop things in
ways that will surprise you very much beyond what you might have
expected.

Today more than ever, we must
cultivate the creative and
innovative potential of every
employee in the organization.
Everyone in the organization
must be capable of thinking
creatively and be willing to try
new approaches which transcend
their own roles, departments and
processes. |

At
P&G, we think of creativity
not as a mysterious gift of the talented few but as the everyday task of
making nonobvious connections – bringing together things that don't normally
go together.
One way to do that is to look at contradictions
in the marketplace. |

It's unbelievable what you can
get done in a day with a
focused, motivated and creative
team. When you give people the
time to do the thing that always
seems "just out of reach"
people's creativity cracks wide
open. |
