Iterate.<br \/>\nNothing\u2013and I\u2019ll say it again, but louder\u2013NOTHING will spring from your creative self fully formed. Genius, clarity, vision\u2013whatever you want to call it\u2013will come in fragments at inopportune moments over days, weeks, months, years. Be ready to catch each one of the iterations and push it out of you. The summary of those iterations will aggregate into something special.<\/p>\n<p>8. Don\u2019t underestimate the fundamentals. Know your craft.<br \/>\nVision and big-picture-thinking are important, but not at the expense of the fundamentals. You\u2019ve got know the nuts and bolts of what your doing. Skip this item at your own risk.<\/p>\n<p>12. Find some quiet.<br \/>\nNoise, stimulation, and adventure are good for creating the raw building blocks of creativity, but they suck for the most important part of creativity \u2014 the synthesis. Synthesis\u2013the gluing together of your ideas\u2013requires some sort of quiet, be it just a moment or bunch of moments. So carve out this time.<\/p>\n<p>13. Help others.<br \/>\nWhen chasing success too many people play the \u2018me\u2019 game. It\u2019s all about \u2018me\u2019. Well, contrary to what it might seem, success ain\u2019t just about me. Most people who achieve success are concerned with helping others. Helping others cultivates understanding, humility, compassion, and your network \u2013 not to mention, a better world. So don\u2019t just reach up and pull yourself there. Be sure to reach sideways and down too, as often as you can muster<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might know that (and fully in sync with the push by surgeon Atul Gawande) we like checklists for avoiding failures of ineptitude\u2026such as this one on facilitation skills \u00a0and this on finding a good venue.
