To help you break free from the myths and blockers of innovation, here are a few recommended readings from Josh’s extensive body of work on business innovation:
Innovation Blockers and Myths
Cutting-edge research from Harvard University
proves that all human beings are creative
In fact, 85% of creativity is learned behavior, which means that even on our worst days, we all have at least 85% the creative capacity as Mozart, DaVinci, or Picasso. We are hard-wired to be creative; it is our natural state. Yet instead of developing these critical skills as we age, we tend to move away from our creative roots.
Natural talent, therefore, is not the biggest blocker of creativity and innovation. Instead, the biggest obstacle is fear. Fear is that poisonous force that robs us of our most innovative ideas. By understanding the barriers of innovation, we’re able to cultivate the skills of creative thinking and direct that imagination in productive ways.
