Creative Quickie - How Do You Define Creativity?

One of my big projects for 2008 was working with Jan Harness on “Creative Instigation.” As the presentation and book have developed, we’ve asked many people how they define creativity. Here are ten of the interesting answers we’ve received.

How do you define creativity?

  • A different way to a usual place or a usual way to a different place.
  • Your subconscious leaking out.
  • Creating a project, product, or piece that never before existed.
  • Humanity at its best.
  • Going beyond your expectations to make something that educates, inspires, and entertains.
  • Actions to conceive beauty.
  • Random associations grounded in strategy.
  • An outward expression of the awesomeness within.
  • Permission granted to take my brain off its leash.
  • Mistakes worth keeping.

Share your thoughts in the comments section on how you define creativity and add even more variety to the list!
