Everyone has the ability to be creative

Would "creative" and "committed" describe your team?

Everyone has the ability to be creative—if you broaden your concept of what creativity means , and if you know how to tap into it.

My experience with hundreds of groups leads me to be able to say, with confidence, that at their core, great teams are comprised of creative, committed individuals who are using their best efforts to reach a common goal .

In fact, teams that solve problems and tackle challenges together have a special bond that’s not often found in other groups. And they don’t see these challenges as drudgery or something outside the scope of their work. They view it as the excitement and fun of being a part of a team.

Think of the members of the team of which you are currently a member or a leader. Would creative and committed be the words you would use to describe each one of them?
