Creativity is good; we can all agree, and most organizations value creativity. But too much creativity can harm our careers. 🎨 💥   In an article on Fast Company, Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic outlines why, rather than fostering creativity, organizations are more likely to reward "business as usual." 🛠️   ➡️ Creativity is, by definition, hard to define and measure.    This leads to multiple perspectives on what is and isn't creative. It is easier to measure what we know, to reward what we expect, and to promote people for doing what we tell them. Creativity is rarely part of a performance evaluation discussion.   ➡️ Creativity often coexists with some complicated personal attributes and character traits.   Creative often challenge the status quo, have unconventional attitudes and beliefs, and are uncompromising with their ideas, preferring to go with their views rather than to make concessions and collaborate.   ➡️ Creativity is abundant, and ideas are cheap. Execution makes the difference.   We all have ideas, and organizations have plenty. Translating creative ideas into actual innovation requires far more than the ability to think out of the box or brainstorm. It is about the process, discipline, passion for execution, and the ability to collaborate effectively.   Thomas Edison said, "Ideas without implementation are just hallucinations." 💡 🛠️   Illustration by me 😊   Extract from an article by Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic on Fast Company.
