So what is your role in influencing creativity and innovation in others?

It’s likely that you can relate because most of us, at some point in our careers, have had this happen to us. While this source is primarily attributable to the individual, it doesn’t mean the manager doesn’t have a role to play too. It’s important for managers to pay attention and help their employees to “get up to speed.”
