"It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future.

They are, but a key can be turned in two directions.

Turn it one way andyou lock resources away, even from those they belong to.

Turn it the otherway and you release resources and give people back to themselves.

To realizeour true creative potential in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities we need to think differently about ourselves and to actdifferently towards each other.

We must learn to be creative." Ken Robinson PRAISE FOR OUT OF OUR MINDS "Ken Robinson writes brilliantly about the different ways in which creativity is undervalued and ignored ...especially in our educational systems."

This book is not to be missed." Ken Blanchard, co-author of The One-minute Manager and The Secret "If ever there was a time when creativity was necessary for the survival andgrowth of any organization, it is now.
