Time spent being creative or being productive. It’s always been about compromise. But the truth is, they’re one in the same. Or at least they are now – in the modern day. New technologies are transforming our efficiency. We’re free to be more creative; to push our ideas further and to share them effortlessly. If that’s not productivity, what is?
Achieving more. Not doing more.
Too often, relentless focus on productivity is seen as a barrier to creativity.
In fact:
- 75% of people think they’re not living up to their creative potential
- 80% of employees feel increasingly pressured to be more productive rather than more creative
But spending time being creative doesn’t mean getting less done.
As advances in technology make us more efficient, the focus is shifting from doing more to achieving more. Successful leaders will be the ones who build a culture where ideas thrive.
It’s about creating culture where we’re encouraged to bring our whole selves to what we do.
That starts with empowering people with the right tools.
