How to be more creative

Be curious. Ask questions. Reflect on other points of view.

Jot down ideas. Document everything. Assimilate thoughts and observations. Review and implement.

Go flat (as opposed to hierarchies) - think like Silicon Valley companies. This is not the norm in the public sector where you are expected to "do as you are told", realize that that to be creative requires more than just one commander at the realm.

Stuck in a negative environment? Be an example of success. (Think of how many successful musicians have come out of slums.)

Be authentic - the new word for "true to yourself" - and stay consistently so.

Be daring. Throw your ideas all out there and see what survives.
