Veja como você pode impulsionar mudanças e transformações positivas alavancando a criatividade como líder.

It starts with you as the leader. You need to demonstrate curiosity if you want a culture of curiosity. Adopting a coaching style will help. A coaching style is: 1. Believing your people have the resources they need to solve their problems. 2. Asking them open-ended questions to help them become aware of the resources they need to draw on to solve their problems. 3. Challenging them to take responsibility for applying their resources to the problem. 4. Supporting them by breaking down barriers, believing in them, and holding them accountable to do what they say. Less telling. More asking. More curiosity.

Some people are naturally curious, and others learn to be curious. Either way, curiosity is the nucleus of all good ideas, and you want good ideas in your business if you desire to grow. A company that's not growing is dying, and the only way to grow is to be adaptable and to remain relevant. How does one maintain relevance? By continuing to evaluate your current state, anticipate the needs of your customers/clients, and adapt your practices to accommodate them. None of this is possible without curiosity and a creative way of thinking. At work, it's vital for a leader to promote creativity by encouraging new ideas and being open-minded. Not all ideas are implemented, but fostering an environment of curiosity will create positive change.

Its important to make your meetings a safe place to explore curiousity. You may have team members that are silent objectors or active saboteurs. Rather in suffer in silence, its better to draw out those opinions and rationale in a safe setting. Be curious about what is on your team's mind to drive step function change and transformation.

One set of individuals you can depend on to have creative ideas is the introverted professionals in your team. Introverts, although quiet in nature, are very creative. Often you can nudge them for their ideas. #introverts #creativity

Actively seek and value different perspectives to develop innovative solutions. Encourage team members to share their unique viewpoints, fostering collaborative brainstorming. This approach not only enhances problem-solving but also promotes inclusion and belonging. When all voices are heard, team members feel valued and motivated to contribute their best, driving overall success.

Foster a culture where failure is a learning opportunity, not a setback. Encourage experimentation and calculated risks, reassuring your team that honest mistakes are part of the process. This approach turns challenges into growth opportunities, fueling innovation and change.

I like to ask my subordinates, "If you were in charge, what would you do or suggest as a change?" After carefully listening to their answer, if it's not an absolute detriment to the mission or the project, I tell them, Sounds good. Go for it." Faces light up when you bring in their thoughts and buy into their solutions. Those closest to the problem usually have the solution. They just need your support of their suggestions.

Sharing a clear vision of what “good looks like” and setting specific goals fosters autonomy. When leaders share information and relinquish control, it empowers their team. Once the team understands the “what” and is given the freedom to decide the “how,” creativity flourishes. By providing the right tools, resources, and support, team members can innovate and find new efficiencies. Encouraging innovation and quickly recognizing improvements and milestones further drives project success and personal and professional growth.

Investing in your team's creative skills can definitely drive transformation. Provide training sessions, workshops, or informal learning opportunities on creative thinking and problem-solving. Encouraging continuous learning shows you value their development and builds a skilled, adaptable workforce ready to tackle future challenges creatively.
