Do you feel under pressure to be more creative at work? 1 3 Studies have recently found that creativity is now one of the top skills most workplaces are looking for in their employees, as they struggle to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive world.
1 4 After all, as many employees quietly admit during training workshops: “Not all of us can paint or draw.” The good news is that creativity comes in all sorts of forms. The most common type of creativity is simply allowing our brains the space to imagine different connections, patterns and possibilities. But how can you improve your creativity at work?
Here are three approaches:
Get curious. A big part of creativity is curiosity. It helps you to focus your attention as you explore dynamic mental simulations based on personal past experiences, thoughts about the future and exploration of alternative perspectives and scenarios to the present. Use your curiosity to explore why things happen, how they work, what impact they have. 1 5
Be willing to fail. 16 Likewise if organizations wish to cultivate creativity, they need to establish cultures where the risk of failure is accepted as part of the deal. The truth is that if you’re not failing some of the time, you’re not stretching far enough outside of your comfort zone to keep learning and growing.
Cultivate positive emotions. Positive emotions — such as gratitude, compassion, joy, and inspiration — have been found to help you broaden your thinking. 17 To cultivate more positive emotions at work, such as gratitude, kindness and hope, you can promote high-quality connections with others, and find ways to make the most of your strengths.
