Move Out of Your Comfort Zone

A major barrier to creativity is “the comfort zone.” People have a natural tendency to resist new ideas, to say no to anything new or different. Does your company encourage people to take risks and to suggest new ways of doing things? Do you as a manager?

A direct relationship in an organization connects happiness, on the one hand, and optimism and creativity on the other. Happy, valued employees and executives are always more creative. Whenever people feel valued, important, and respected in an organization, creativity bubbles forth naturally. Optimism, cheerfulness, positive expectancy, and laughter all trigger creativity. What do you do to reward, recognize, and reinforce your staff when they come up with new ideas?

The fact is that everybody is inherently creative. It is a gift provided to you by nature to deal with the problems and challenges of life. The only difference is that some people use a lot of their creativity, and some use very little. On average, a person driving to and from work probably has about four ideas per year, any one of which could make him or her a millionaire if he or she were to pursue it. The reason we don’t pursue our ideas is because we don’t believe that they could be of any value. The fact is that you may have forty ideas every year, any one of which would enable you to fulfill all your dreams.

The quality of calm confidence in your creativity is one of the most powerful forces you can develop to stimulate your subconscious mind into giving you good ideas. Your job is to accept that you really are a genius and that ideas come to you naturally and in abundance.
