Creativity is key to organizational competitiveness and success while fostering creativity is a complex process that necessities the efforts of multiple parties.

If you are a team leader who aims to elicit creative ideas from followers, what are the dos and don’ts to keep in mind? As a frontline employee, what are some factors that enhance or hinder your creative performance? This course assumes you in these different roles and uncovers how creative processes unfold in organizations. Also presented in this course are a set of unintended negative consequences of creativity (or processes aimed to foster it).
