Episode #10 of the course “Creating creation companies” by Barry Mapp

 

If you want your organization to become a creation company then you first have to understand the working conditions in which human spirit is released and creativity unfolds. In a nutshell, you have to learn how to put the joy back into work. In order to do this, a leader needs to transform management and leadership. Putting resources into transforming management along the lines discussed in this short course would be the most cost-effective way to bring creativity back into work.

I’ve also added an extra difference about culture that is not mentioned in this table, as it is one of the fundamental differences.
