I am in the middle of reading the book The Uniform Improvement Cycle, in which the author says that among the areas of waste within an organization is the area of creativity. This comes from the tendency to make the assumption that management only knows what is best for an operation. The along comes a Fortune 100 executive who suggests we are missing the boat. Companies must get creative if they hope to survive the current economic downturn and be positioned to compete in the new, global economy that will emerge, says former Fortune 500 business executive Kathy Robison.
Creativity leads to finding ways to improve the way we operate and it leads to full engagement of our employees. Do you respect the views of the line workers who are in the trenches or are you ready to see a decline in the level of corporate spontaneity?
