It wasn’t Henry Ford’s goal to destroy the horse and buggy industry, he just wanted to make money. Making money is the top motivator for innovation. In order to make money, you have to build a better mousetrap. It doesn’t have to be a game-changing innovation, it can be an incremental one, but it must provide an improvement over the way things are done now.
Burger King radically changed the fast food industry with its “Have It Your Way” campaign. No other fast food chain allowed special customer requests that altered menu items. But, once Burger King proved it was popular, every single one of them had to follow suit.
Your organization needs people who can think like innovators all the way down the line. People who are constantly looking for new ways to differentiate your company from the competition and improve your bottom line. People with superior problem-solving skills. Happy workers, who are satisfied with their contribution, bring value to your business. When you establish a Culture of Innovation, your employees will feel a part of the overall mission of your company. And that will make your company competitive in today’s challenging marketplace.
The power of creative thinking is enormous. When you are engaged in creative activity – it energizes you and gives you feelings of empowerment. You gain a heightened sense of purpose that builds your self-reliance. When you discover how to think like an innovator, you gain the confidence to control your circumstances – and that makes you more productive and profitable!
When you build your self-esteem through creative thinking, you will attain your greatest dreams. When you find the spark within yourself, and develop the self-control that enables you to focus your energy on achievement – you will enjoy more satisfaction in every area of your life! Not just business – Every Area – your friendships will broaden; your relationships will deepen; in short, you will get better at everything you do.
How often do you feel that you could do so much more with your work, your relationships, your spare time? You’re not alone. Many of us never realize our potential. You see, the natural ability which enables us to do so has been repressed. That natural ability is Creative Thinking; and it is the key to solving problems, recognizing opportunities, and developing a fulfilling life.
Unfortunately, through the socialization process you were repeatedly told to conform, comply, and concede. You were expected – without question – to conform to established norms, comply with standardized rules, and to concede your dreams. By the time you reached adulthood, you believed that creativity is a gift that only a rare few are born with.
The fact of the matter is that Creative Thinking is a natural skill that you can re-ignite at any age, that is if you know how. When you start thinking like an innovator, you will recognize opportunities that other people will miss. And, you’ll solve problems like never before!
