This article offers advice for creativity in business from five well-known comedians. The bottom line is that creativity has to be nurtured and that it thrives in an atmosphere where it is welcome. Leaders set the tone.
The message is to the organization's leadership. "If you’re willing to give others the opportunity to play, explore, fail, throw out ideas, think about the mundane, take their time--and sometimes break the ice by telling a bad joke--then you will create an atmosphere that will stimulate new ideas, new processes, and new directions and take your company to new heights. No kidding."
