Walter Jones applies the creativity theory to leadership.
“The way to foster creativity … is to encourage everyone to have
a voice, to feel comfortable offering their own quirky opinions, even
the weirdoes, the nerds and those in the minority. They’ll be
encouraged as long as what he calls the “squelchers” are kept in check.
These are the naysayers, the guardians of the status quo. No
one likes to be put down or have his or her ideas minimized. The
natural reaction is to stop offering suggestions when they’re
repeatedly belittled or ignored.”
