Marsha joins me today to share her wisdom on promoting a culture of creativity. She talks about why creativity is important, how to properly inspire your workers to be creative, and how to keep them engaged and willing to be creative even in ordinary tasks.

“Everyone involved wants to see creativity, however there are things that are done that squash it.” – Marsha Egan

Today on Spot On Insurance:

Why engagement is important. How communication within the company can improve creativity. What is "positive focus?” The difference between encouraging creativity and encouraging a culture of creativity. How to avoid an organizational culture that discourages creativity. Why you should sometimes utilize an idea that didn't work before.

Key Takeaway:

Asking questions and listening to their response can help improve engagement. Reprimanding people for being creative could potentially discourage creativity in the future.
