There was indeed a lot of wisdom in this book. Essentially the book is about six creative behaviours (creativity is a behaviour; innovation is a process) to encourage creativity at work. These are: Freshness, Greenhousing, Realness, Momentum, Signalling and Courage
Freshness and Realness are the most straightforward chapters that if you've read other creativity books you'll probably find straightforward. Essentially, keep fresh stimulus coming in and make things real - e.g. don't come to a meetin...more

Although not every idea in this book is new, the book nicely lays out a set of behaviors that stimulate creative thinking.
The book is easy to read, and contains many wonderful ideas for idea generation.
If you're ever out of ideas and need to create a creative environment, the book can certainly help.
The book did not address the scenario where you have too many ideas and not enough time to implement them all. Coming up with ideas is one thing, execution is another. How do you pick the best idea...more

A good book that will probably give you a few ideas on how to create a better environment for creativity or innovation. Most of this you probably know, but they organize it very well.
The ideas are good and you will have seen a lot of these in other books.

eye opener!
Great business book for learning how to be more creative at work. I really liked the first four behaviors for increasing your creativity: freshness, greenhousing, realness, and momentum. They make a lot of practical sense and I'm confident that I will be able to incorporate them into my work life. The last two behaviors, signalling and courage, were not as inspiring, but I can see how they are also important.
A sweet read:)
