“We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? So this is what we've chosen to do with our life. We could be sitting in a monastery somewhere in Japan. We could be out sailing. Some of the team could be playing golf. They could be running other companies. And we've all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it. And we think it is.” ThinkingKnowsShouldRunningLife IsDiesChanceCompanyCreativityOur LivesTeamSittingGolfChosenExcellentDamnJapanWorth ItSailingPlaying GolfMonasteriesDamn Good Author:Steve Jobs
“Teams use trust as currency. If it is in short supply, then the team is poor. If trust abounds, the members of the team have purchase power with each other to access each others’ gifts, talents, energy, creativity, and love. The development of trust then becomes a significant leadership strategy. Trust creates the load limits on the relationship bridges among team members” IfsUseEnergyPoorCreativityTeamTalentDevelopmentLimitsMembersAnd LoveStrategyAccessSignificantBridgesLoadCurrencyTeam Member Author:Reggie McNeal

“When I played in a 21-team league, there were six or seven goalies who were just average, and the equipment and pads were smaller. I came in the right era. I played for the right team.

“If we're going to change the game it has to start at eight, nine and 10 years old. When we were that age we'd go to the pond or backyard rink and throw a puck on the ice and play five on five, or seven on seven. You get this creativity and this imagination that comes from within, just having fun on the pond. Now kids are so focused on team play, and the coaches are so focused on positioning.

“When you come into a creativity-driven environment, things are very different and there is the danger that a traditional managerial mind-set could even do damage.

“Storyboarding is what I call an "idea landscape" - one that can help unleash creativity, improve communication, and identify practical solutions to complex problems.

“Today, nearly every competitive advantage of the past has been commoditized. Creativity is the one thing that can't be outsourced. The one thing that can separate a company, team, or individual from the competitive set. Today, precision execution is merely the ante to play. Sustained differentiation can only come from breakthrough creativity.” TodayPastIndividualCreativityTeamBreakthrough Author:Josh Linkner
“Build creative cultures, and work with purpose to unleash the creativity of your team. Creativity is the most valuable natural resource in any organization, yet it is often a resource that is largely untapped.

In fact, they're the darlings of today (Facebook, Groupon, LinkedIn, etc).” TodayPurposeCultureNaturalLeaderCreativityCreativeTeamWallTomorrowValuableNatural ResourcesPrioritize Author:Josh Linkner
“One of the key skills you'll need to bring change to the world will really test your creativity, as well as your sanity, your patience, and your resolve. It has to do with how to take your dream and make it as real as possible. It doesn't really matter what your dream is, "going big" means doing it to the utmost. To do that, you need one thing: other dreamers to share your dream. If you learn to make your dream a team effort, you'll find the key to growing big.” WorldMeanRealDreamEffortCreativityTeamShareResolveSanityDreamer Author:Linda Rottenberg
