Do you believe that life within an organization means death to the
creative process? That creativity is the exclusive province of
"artistic types"? Wrong! Shaun McNiff shows how we can all
cultivate the special kind of creative energy that is generated by
people working together in groups, whether in the workplace or
other cooperative communities--wherever individuals come together
to pursue a common goal through dialogue, interaction, and
teamwork. "Creating with Others" is designed to address group
creativity in both theory and practice. McNiff draws examples from
the creative arts as well as from organizational life and everyday
work situations. He shows how leaders can be facilitators of
creative teamwork, and how artists and other creative people can
collaborate fruitfully with others. The book includes exercises and
questions that can be used in courses, informal discussion groups,
and interactive e-groups. It will also help individual
readers--ranging from beginners to artists seeking inspiration--to
reflect upon their personal relationship with creativity. Readers
will find that they are never alone in the creative process.
Creativity is the basic interplay of life, and we establish a vital
link to its power through engagements with others.
