CHAPTER 13 On Creative Spirit
Allow yourself the latitude to:- Step away from the computer from time to time to prime the brain.
- Choose a conductor to orchestrate everything (and don’t be afraid to
mix this role up from time to time). - Encourage chance collisions between fertile minds, by creating spaces
that allow for serendipitous meetings.
Adopt these three strategies and interweave them and you’ll find the rest
of the pieces fall into place. It’s easy — all it takes is a little hard work.abouT The auThoR
