SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book is about creativity in business, management, and many other professions. The authors interviewed well-known creative people, including directors, authors, artists, and business people, to identify how the creative process made them successful and how the process works. Their analysis shows that while there are common themes, creativity will also solve problems, with uncommon results. Anyone concerned with creativity can learn from the illuminating views of twenty creative leaders."--Jacket.
