First, an article recommended by Dion Hinchcliffe on Getting Down to the Business of Creativity. After conducting a three-year study of the daily creative work of hundreds of people, Professor Teresa Amabile at HBS offers these suggestions for fostering creativity in the workplace:
"Support employees' progress in their work every day. Set clear and meaningful goals for them; provide direct help, versus hindrance; offer adequate resources and time; respond to successes and failures by drawing on the experience as a learning opportunity, not just a moment to praise or reprimand; and establish a culture where people are treated with respect."
This article also offers an apt definition of entrepreneurship: "The pursuit of opportunity beyond the resources you currently control."
Second, article over on Bnet.com about How to Present Like Steve Jobs. Lots of people, including me, consider Jobs the best presenter around, so it's worthwhile to consider his approach to planning and delivering a presentation.
