Creativity in teams is critical because no single creative gift is sufficient in an of itself. A team provides the opportunity to assemble a whole variety of talents in a strategic fashion. It's similar to the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas” where a whole variety of gifts are needed to express true love.

So as you make up your holiday card list, keep track of something besides who sent you a card last year: do a double check to ensure that you have a full range of personalities and talents among your informal creative team’s members. See if you have someone on your list for each of these 12 characteristics:

  • Artistic
  • Funny
  • Inventive
  • Stylish
  • Adventurous
  • Well-Read
  • Diverse
  • Quirky
  • Playful
  • Spontaneous
  • Curious
  • Pop-Cultured

If there’s a creative talent missing on your team, resolve to identify a new team member in the new year that expresses their creativity in that manner. And if you don’t have a creative team you can reach out to, start building it! You’ll truly love the impact that it will have on you!  - Mike Brown
