When Sparks Fly: Igniting Creativity in Groups

by Doro Leonard Barton

When Sparks Fly: Igniting Creativity in Groups Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The authors offer managers proven strategies for generating the group dynamics that lie at the heart of innovative thinking, including specific techniques for re-channeling the tensions of conflicting points of view into new ideas and alternative options.

Synopsis:

Managers assume that gifted individuals offer the quickest route to new ideas, yet most innovations spring from well-led group interactions. This text focuses on groups of people who may not fit in the stereotype of right-brained "creatives", and offers strategies for generating the right dynamics.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [221]-228) and index.
