This observation, attributed to Peter Drucker and popularized by Ford Motor Company, where it continues to hang in the companyʼs War Room, illumines perhaps the #1 reason for burnout. No matter how brilliant (or expensively-obtained- by-consultant) the strategy, if bitterness, distrust, and fear are shaped into norms of how things get done, nothing gets done. Creativity, innovation, and a sense of responsibility for the entire organization inform a culture in which each member can thrive.
I’ve been in both realms. Creativity wins. Very good point.
Hello there!
Thank you. I agree with you, nothing beats creativity.
Well said. Even if technically you didn’t say it

It’s kind of like the Speed of Trust. It saves a lot of time and money when people are trusting. It motivates people when people trust them to create. Daniel Pink is a great author who talks about creativity and motivation. Very good post, Tanushree – as usual. I want to welcome you to the Ligo Circle of Appreciation. This isn’t a contest, but just a thanks for what you do. Stop by my website and take a look. http://wp.me/p2jC53-IB
Hi Marsha!
Let me first say that it is so so good to see you here too!
thanks for joining me here. I feel this strong bond of friendship between us now
This post is written by my friend James. He occasionally posts his thoughts. It is almost always me who is posting!
but thanks anyway. I will pass on your thoughts and compliments. I have ot read Daniel Pink now. Is he that good?
California has invited him to the yearly conference for County administrators – very prestigious. He has come up with some interesting statistics. For example, people are not motivated much by money when they are doing cognitive tasks. He advises employers to pay enough to keep money off the table, then offer workers a chance to be creative – no strings attached.
California has invited who?
Also I mostly miss all your comments due to the spam thingy. why does it happen to you?
