How to Make Room for Your Muse
- Leaders often express concern about a perceived lack of curiosity, creativity, and innovation in their teams.
- When curiosity, creativity, and innovation are not in play, stagnation results.
- Create conditions for yourself and your people to make room for the muse — that little voice or spark inside of you that fosters curiosity and the creativity and innovation that flow from it.
- Pay attention to what's in your ears and in front of your eyes. Set your pre-frontal cortex free by looking at your calendar, emails, and texts to assess how to eliminate meetings and threads that don't add any immediate value.
- Curiosity, creativity, and innovation suffer when you focus on the wrong goal. Stay focused on your main motive.
- Your muse needs space to work, so leave enough room to generate ideas out of nowhere.
- Leaders should ask themselves what they are doing that either enables or disables the collective muse.
- Good habits make space in your brain for your muse to do its thing and allow you to experience more of a feeling you already know — what it feels like to have a great idea that fuels your curiosity, creativity, and innovation.
- Keep a check on the media you are consuming and adjust your mix and start reading things that fuel your creative juices or help you relax.
- Your best ideas may come while taking shower, working out, driving, taking a walk or anywhere else but do not expect them to happen while sitting front of your computer.
