Todd Henry, CEO and founder of Accidental Creative, is coming out with a book on July 7, appropriately entitled The Accidental Creative. In the book, Henry discusses the “the dynamics of organizational creativity and teaches simple practices that help you unlock brilliant ideas and establish a rhythm that supports your creative process.”
In it you’ll learn how to master focus, develop relationships that stimulate creativity, manage your energy and time, and more usable information to help you be the most creative you can be. It sounds like it’s right up a church communicator’s ally, especially after reading the first paragraph:
“We’re compensated for the ideas we generate, the value we create, and the problems we solve, and though we may be good at what we do, many of us may feel at least a little out of touch with the mysterious process by which any of this happens. On some days, ideas spring forth effortlessly, and we feel poised to attack any problem that comes our way. On others, we struggle with a single obstacle without any significant momentum. It can be frustrating to be held responsible for something we have so little control over, especially in the marketplace, where our career success is directly tied to our ability to generate great ideas consistently.”
