We are in danger of slowly becoming more insular and as creative leaders, we need to start breaking down these barriers…

 "We are becoming strangers to each other, leaving communities to be marooned outside the mainstream…communities of different ethnicity and religion eyeing each other over the fences of our differences" Trevor Phillips ~ Head of the Commission for Racial Equality (UK)

What are you doing to "break down the fences" in your organisation?  

The search for a solution should be as much fun as finding it

The Palaeolithic hunters who painted the unsurpassed animal murals on the ceiling of the cave at Altamira had only rudimentary tools. Art is older than production for use, and play older than work. Man was shaped less by what he had to do than by what he did in playful moments. It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities. Eric Hoffer

Do you allow yourself and your team the opportunity to enjoy tackling challenges as much as finding the solution?  

By meditating you can make yourself more creative…

“I am very busy today; I must meditate for two hours instead of one.” Mahatma Gandhi

Do you ever get days when you are frayed at the edges?
