Creativity

Growing up, I was always a creative child. My creativity first appeared in school with my art work in early elementary school. At home, this would also translate to building cool structures out of Legos, as well as building my own Hot Wheels tracks. Looking a little further down the line, my creativity came out in the form of music. I played both guitar and violin from an early age, and I would frequently do a little improvisation with various chords until I found a group of them that sounded good together. Now, I like to write my own lyrics to rap over beats. I am also very interested in coding, and my efforts with making programs are a bit more creative than other people's. In fact, when I am tasked with a programming objective, I like to think of various approaches before I start to code my idea.

Creativity is an important virtue in any organization. As Daft and Marcic have stated, more and more organizations have been trying to build creativity by allowing "an internal culture of playfulness, freedom, challenge, and grass-roots participation." (Daft & Marcic, p. 281) In fact, managers at Google have even allowed employees to spend 20 percent of their time working on any project they choose so that creativity will remain alive. An abundance of creativity will allow new ideas and technologies to become established in this world, which will make life easier and can allow for further efficiency as well. By remaining creative, new innovations will continue to come about, and this world will evolve for the better.
