Making Creativity an Everyday Habit with Scott Anthony – #243

Innovation and creativity never go out of style. However, sometimes we find ourselves in institutionalized inertia. Our creative side is stifled because of the systems, structures, and processes in place. Scott Anthony says these are things that help today and make it hard to change for tomorrow. Scott is the co-author of Eat, Sleep, Innovate: How to Make Creativity an Everyday Habit in Your Organizations, and shares with Kevin that we need balance; we need a dual transformation. Innovation is something different that creates value, and no innovation story is a straight line. Leaders need to encourage and celebrate the challenges along the way. Further, the need to create an environment that is tolerable of new behavior and trust your team wants to do it and is capable of innovation.

In this episode, Scott talks about:

1. Creativity vs. innovation.
2. Behaviors of innovation.
3. Curiosity quotient.
4. Role of psychological safety.
