Creating a Creative Environment
Creativity is unlocking a “how-to” problem. Creativity is simply put, the number of times people ask, “what if?” If you were to ask what the key to FedEx’s success, it is the “what if” culture. What if there were an express airline just for cargo? The nature of the mind is to think. If we can create the right conditions, we will be able to connect the dots and be able to solve problems based on our knowledge and experience.
The Need for Change
