Recenzii

"Challenges the traditional definition of creativity and highlights how firms are stifling ideas and innovation at a time when it's vital for UK businesses to foster a creative environment in order to stay afloat." The Online Recruitment Resource 20130606 "If you are fascinated by where great ideas come from and could do with a boost to help you come up with more, Taylor's guide is an excellent starting point." HR Magazine 20130701 "This book is alive, it talks and breathes and yes, it listens! Ros Taylor's book is all the more readable because individual experiences are shared in short stories - her own and those of persons interviewed - and because she offers wise and practical tips at the end of each chapter." -- Dimis Michaelides Keynote speaker, leadership and innovation expert
