"American creativity has steadily declined since 1990. That disturbing trend recently
came to light through the work of leading educational psychologist KH Kim, a recognized
expert in creativity assessment. In this insightful and inspiring book, Kim discovers
the causes of the decrease in creativity and proposes methods of recapturing American
creativity in education, in industry, and throughout every sector of society. Through
the life stories of innovators, Kim debunks the assumption that creative people must
be born with innate talents. She shows how parents, educational methods, and cultures
shaped innovators' creative expression. As her research clearly indicates, cultural
climates and attitudes (including over-reliance on standardized testing) often work
against innovation unless creativity is deliberately grown and developed. Culminating
over twenty years of extensive research, Kim has devised original models to identify
creativity in people and organizations and help it to blossom. Gardening metaphors
illustrate simple but powerful steps to transform creative potential into innovation.
She emphasizes practical steps to cultivate creative climates (environment) in schools,
in homes, and at work; nurture creative attitudes (personality) toward learning, work,
and life; and apply creative thinking skills. Kim's models for creativity are complemented
with evidence-based methods to learn and practice creative skills in everyday life"
; "A leading educational psychologist offers an exciting model for nurturing creativity
starting in our schools and extending across the arts, sciences, and industry"
