Becoming an Idea Factory: How to Turn Yourself Into an Innovation Machine

If there’s one belief that is holding you back from getting the most out of your team, it’s this one: some people are creative, and some people aren’t. That belief is based on outdated ideas about what creativity means, where it comes from, and who gets to harness it.

The truth is creativity is a skill like any other: it can be learned.

In the same way that we teach employees how to track expenses, process invoices, and jiggle the lock just right to get into the supply closet, we can teach them how to be more creative, how to have better ideas, and how to build a culture where innovation is a natural byproduct.

Kyle Scheele, the “Patron Saint of Crazy Ideas” will provide practical tips for how to get more (and better!) ideas out of yourself and your team, share 5 things that every idea needs and help you avoid common idea-killers in your organization.
