As per business research conducted by IBM, the one attribute that CEOs are most looking forward to in their workforce is creativity. In order to remain ahead of their competitors, every organization needs to rely on some sort of innovation. The top executives themselves need to find out time for creativity within their busy schedule. For that it is essential that they seek unfamiliarity and not be fazed by the same. They must look for newer surroundings, people or environments even as then people get pushed. Senior executives must also get feedback from different sources. Different people have different perspectives so understanding their needs increases one’s grasp over market requirements. The person must get some sort of private space. Being constantly surrounded by others is not conducive to fostering creativity. Constraints will always prove to be challenges in businesses but it is how to deal with such adversity and rising to them that develops the truly top professional.
