THE CREATIVITY BILL OF RIGHTS
By John Kao
* Everyone is Creative *
* All ideas are welcome and deserve hearing *
* Creativity is part of every job description *
* Premature closure and excessive judgement are cardinal sins *
* Creativity is about finding balance between art and discipline *
* Creativity involves openness to a wide range of inputs *
* Experiments must be encouraged *
* Noble failure is honorable, poor implementation or bad choices are not *
* Creativity involves mastering a process of continuous change *
* Creative results involve a balance of intuition and facts *
* Creativity can, and should be managed *
* Creative work is not an excuse for chaos, disarray or sloppiness in execution *
"It's quite simple, really. Form follows function. We work in support of creative people and our job is merely to be creative and insist others do the same."
