“To create a culture of creativity, you have to celebrate creativity.

Often times, when organizations become bureaucratic, following the rules is what's celebrated; walking the line is what's celebrated; doing it the way it's done around here is what's celebrated.

No judgement if that's how you want your organization, but IF you want a culture of creativity... IF you want a culture of innovation.... You have to be willing to turn a blind eye sometimes when the rules are broken. You have to be willing to have the business endure the risks associated with a culture of creativity - less certainty, etc. And you have to celebrate teammates when they create a new process, redesign a workflow process or solve a problem on an unconventional way.”
