Can be defined creativity as a new and useful and connected to the ideas of solving certain problems or assemble and re-installation of known knowledge of patterns in unique forms, and creativity is limited at the technical side because it does not include the development of products and processes related to the preparation of only the market but also exceed Machinery and equipment and methods of manufacturing and improvements At the same organization and the results of training and job satisfaction, leading to an increase in productivity Creativity is not the only person to see the phenomenon as a new way so we can say that creativity requires the ability to sense the existence of a problem that requires treatment and then the ability to think differently iconic and then find the right solution. There are six steps to elevate the team to the world of creativity: Often talk about creativity as individual property - there are only genius who invents brilliant ideas. However, with the growing collaborative work, the fore facts counts of the creativity of the team: first, the actual ability of the team to devise creative solutions to the problems of work, excels in her grandmother often on ideas that can any of the employees of the company attaches its own. The second is that this amazing achievement for the team does not happen automatically - it imperative to manage the process. The question that arises here: How so? To answer this question, launched a research project headed by Therese Omapaal, a professor in the College of Business Administration at Harvard University, he began to investigate the factors that distinguish creativity and innovation in an atmosphere of teams or work groups. To accomplish this, Omapaal developed statistical invited KEYS: Assessing the Climate for Creativity, in order to measure these conditions. Preliminary studies for this project included interviews with Omapaal and her team executives, team leaders, and its members in a variety of institutions. And in which the participants were asked to identify creative successful projects in which they participated, and talk about how to implement them in the post, "the birth of the idea is brilliant." Omapaal explains this, saying: "The whole creativity begins creative ideas. The success of the implementation of new programs, or to introduce new products or innovative services, the presence of a person or the owner of a good idea of ​​the team, and then develop the idea further than her elementary poor drafting." Omapaal and her team identified six conditions turned out to be available in the creative and successful project teams. The team manager can take care of all of them, what makes them not always in the right place alone, without help. Some of these conditions may seem to echo the old traditional hierarchies of knowledge, but in fact each of them vague points that are easily overlooked - At the big risk.1. demonstrated the confidence the team: Does not meet the speeches spirited alone purpose; the team members waiting for you to show confidence in their efforts, through the representation of the ideal behavior for a member of a good team (for example, estimate the individual contributions) on the one hand, and take more leadership acts (a general objectives of the occasion, and authentication to meet the needs of the group) of second hand. If the captain showed a lack of confidence, the team felt it responded strangling his enthusiasm for the project. Omapaal have found that this freedom of action generally means a low level of creativity, curiosity, and the reduction of fiery dialogue that leads to the creation of significant progress.2. uncertainty continues to members of the group with each other freely: Documented the presence of a sufficient amount of the difference between their views, even available to them share their important topic to talk about. Ideal The team consists of a group of people with diverse cultural backgrounds and different skills, who trust in one another - in spite of it - far enough; to challenge the work of others as part of the general openness to new ideas. Start your own, As a manager, selecting the appropriate mix of members to form a project team. The diversity does not necessarily mean the presence of differences in race, sex, despite the importance of it. It could be argued that the purpose behind its collection of people with a variety of experiences, from marketing, finance and information technology, in full for the different points of view on a particular topic. Often frequented Msamek old adage: "brings you the best ideas of where you do not expect," and the difference creative is no exception with the intersection between visions and ideas dissonant, which represents the atmosphere may sometimes seem - in the eyes of the participants - a very strange and contentious than when to another. Choose your team members carefully; and do a combination of professional expertise and creative thinkers, people who are not afraid to interrogate others. This has Omapaal revealed that heterogeneous group members tend to compatibility with each other and by, you will not be able to live up to the ideal of high levels of creativity.3. The document granting the team members enough responsibility: The Afratk to control the course of events - to take accurate decisions relating to the work to be done type, and how they perform and how long? For example - will dampen the team's ability to think and actor magnificent performance. Must each member of the team feels the freedom to implement its share of the project. On the other hand, increasing the responsibility of the member does not mean throwing piles of work over their shoulders without providing them with guidance; What is needed to achieve a sense of balance, reflected in a President of the team members to seek good ideas on the implementation of the project from each other.4. providing adequate resources for the team: Check the availability of the necessary conditions for the rest of your team, so as to allow its members a chance to creative thinking about how to use these resources, instead of worrying about providing for them. In many cases, notes the lack of confidence of the projects leaders in their ability to provide the necessary resources - of people, money or equipment, information or access - or fail to inform the members of the team to the availability of these resources, if any limitation of resources, seek the help of the team to evaluate, and thus improves your ability to identify the resources necessary for the team, and to raise the issue to senior management; for they are providing.5. check assigning each team member work defies his abilities: Not assign people to the project is enough for them; they need to bring them closer to the performance of the work of the important goals for them. Omapaal discovered that the tendency of people to increase creativity when they feel the challenge in their work - provided it does not reach an unacceptable level - in the course of the performance of very simple or very complex tasks. Again, the manager needs to achieve a certain balance. There are many ways to visit the challenge in the work of the group, including: team members learn from the experiences of each other, and take on new responsibilities, and seize opportunities to share their experiences in new ways with new groups. Encourage all members of the team to explore the limits of their potential, and ask them to employ them in new ways, and watch out for the presence of overload them.6. Adjust the pressure: According to the conclusions of Omapaal, can increase the pressure or decreasing the inhibition of creative ability. Thus, creativity Atkhamd team when its members subjected to severe pressure at the time, or when the fictional targets for productivity; and complaints heaped on you from every direction, condemning the existence of the iceberg in the work, and a few in the time required for completion. In contrast, the less likely you get the best ideas of one of the team members, or the highest levels Dafieth, or attention, that did not work full time work, or did not specify a deadline for the completion of his mission. Overall, the team leaders to use a lot of pressure and a means of implementation of the action. The commander of al-Hakim applied pressure appropriate extent, and under control, constantly, and relieves him if needed. However, the pressure should not seem arbitrary at all; it must be understood as a sign necessitated by the urgency - and the final value - to perform the work. Maybe six performance steps seemed evident this, but its implementation may require a long time. Research by Omapaal confirms that climate creative design is not between overnight - the process may require months. Director successful gradually create these conditions, and in a way a smart and sustained over time. Select targets will help you build an adequate working environment for the team, and to evaluate the climate, and being yourself certain time frames: in any month you want to see your team, have developed ways easier and more generosity to continue its members? How you intend to take care of that issue? How to characterize the team's arrival to its objectives - according to any criteria? And remember: you invent a new culture; which requires you to devote considerable time and effort. But you do so properly will generate pride in you with ideas from your team.
