Leverage the Components of the Creative Process

Some activities and emotions are present in nearly every creative process. We feel things like tension, fear, ambiguity, momentum, or joy. When we create, we take various actions such as developing vision, choosing resources, and sharing. If we are striving to lead with creativity, we will infuse the creative process with imagination, patience, and collaboration – our three Super Components. As we strive to help our team or group through the process, it can be valuable to identify and leverage these components. The gears in this image represent the components. We can intentionally utilize the three super components (the small gear) as we lead our group towards our collective vision.
