Steve Jobs, Wired, February, 1995
One can easily say that the last decade enjoyed the burgeoning of several ‘creative thinkers’. Creativity however does not stand apart from imagination, free thinking, or empathy. In its broadest sense, empathy refers to the need to understand people. In the words of the American existential psychologist Rollo May (1909-1994),
‘Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being…creativity requires passion and commitment. Out of the creative act is born symbols and myths. It brings to our awareness what was previously hidden and points to new life. The experience is one of heightened consciousness-ecstasy.’
Creativity requires you, as an ambitious employee, to generate fresh solutions to problems, and the ability to create new products, processes or services for a changing market. These are part of the intellectual capital that gives a company its competitive edge.

Creativity requires whole-brain thinking; right-brain imagination, artistry and intuition, plus left-brain logic and planning.
Just as an example, HP (or Hewlett Packard), which is an American multinational information technology corporation, fosters an environment for creativity and innovation; indeed, its work ethos applies to each and every one of us, following what it calls the ‘Rules of the garage’:
‘Believe you can change the world.
Work quickly, keep the tools unlocked, work whenever.
Know when to work alone and when to work together.
Share – tools, ideas. Trust your colleagues.
No politics. No bureaucracy. (These are ridiculous in a garage.)
The customer defines a job well done.
Radical ideas are not bad ideas.
Invent different ways of working.
Make a contribution every day.
Believe that together we can do anything.
Invent.’
