Many of us are working in ideal situations, but there is always something that can make it just a little more ideal.

How would you describe the ideal workplace?

Quality

Quality is something we strive to achieve in our work and in our personal lives.

What ingredients are needed to produce quality?

Fluency - brainstorm words that describe quality

Flexibility - brainstorm as many provocative questions as you can regarding quality

Fun
Creativity Motivator #24 (6/15/08)

Fun is sometimes considered a bad thing, especially at work. But actually, fun is very productive and healthy. If you love what you are doing, then you don’t need to goof off or find negative ways to have fun.

How can you make work more fun?

Valuing Ideas
Creativity Motivator #23 (6/8/08)

It is important to let people know that their ideas are heard and respected. I agree with Sir Ken Robinsons when he says that we need to teach kids to not be afraid to fail. We must provide all people with support of their new, innovative ideas so they will not be afraid to try them and explore them.

Stress
Creativity Motivator #22 (6/1/08)

We create our own stress. Our reactions to and perceptions of situations create positive and negative stress. A way to begin dealing with stress is to be aware that it is self-inflicted and to take steps to find or fine tune better coping skills.
