Most managers cannot define the difference between creativity and innovation, yet most consider themselves creative leaders. While 45% of managers say creatives are those who create, perceptions of creativity present challenges to innovation. Creativity involves experimentation and risk taking, comes in many forms, and is unique to each individual and organization. Shifting perceptions of creativity to be more open and empowering is needed to better understand one's own creativity.
