It is refreshing to know and perhaps surprising to many that creativity simply happens of its own accord! One does not necessarily need to attend professional trainings or undergo extensive tutorials on how to become creative: it simply occurs at a certain moment in time, provided it is allowed the right environment to flourish. It is a skill that defies all boundaries related to age, gender, social status, education or experience. Every working individual has the right and the ability to be creative once he/she commits him/herself to develop their individual creative abilities. Setting goals, seeking assistance where needed, maintaining a conducive environment and allotting a certain amount of time daily to develop individual creativity are all good measures to take to nurture this key trait.
Creativity lies in the right hemisphere of the brain along with feelings, emotions and senses, while logic, reason and numbers lie in the left hemisphere (which is the analytic side employees more typically tend to use at the workplace). Employees often seem to overlook the fact that the two hemispheres of the brain can be totally in sync and creativity can be boosted with just a bit of the right kind of stimulation, the kind that can make them superstars at their jobs.
Dr. Robert Sternberg defines creativity as “the process of producing something that is both original and worthwhile” in his book “Creativity: from Potential to Realization (2004)”. Against popular belief, creativity is not restricted to artists, musicians, writers and directors; it actually is a universal and fundamental human “skill” that should be nurtured on a daily basis at both the personal and professional level.
