An element of Fun!

As I sit here at my desk and think about my career - I'm overwhelmed by the depth and knowledge I have as a someone who looks into companies and can see solutions. I always like to spend most of time in the areas of strength - everyone knows I have many weaknesses. My greatest strength is the ability to see creative ways to get to the finish line. I love asking the tough questions - I love provoking thought....and in this time of stress the companies that dig down and look at new ways to do business will thrive. I was talking with a colleague of mine today about the economy after 9/11 and business just stopped! What did we do? WE GOT CREATIVE - WE found the element of fun!

What is the power of creativity - it's enormous! What can several talented creative people do in a day? Where can the power take your company? Do you tap into your most creative individuals? Do you even know who they are? They don't have titles or labels on their shirts - but this is the most valuable asset you have as a business owner today!

I would rather take the 5 most creative people I know put them in a room for a day and see what happens. This is more comforting to me than to walk by their desk and hope they are creating value for you!

Let me know what you think! How has creativity helped you recently?

Warm regards,

Anne Sweet
