Abstract: This article explores five evidence-based practices for harnessing creativity to drive innovation within organizations. These include cultivating psychological safety, encouraging idea generation and sharing, embracing failures and learning from mistakes, challenging conventional wisdom, and developing a growth mindset culture. When implemented collectively, these approaches nurture an inclusive environment where employees feel empowered to take risks, experiment, and contribute novel solutions to complex problems. By role modeling these behaviors from leadership and institutionalizing them as organizational norms, companies can unlock the creative potential of their workforce and gain a competitive edge in today's fast-paced, disruptive business landscape.
