“Creativity is one of the few big concepts that has not descended into jargon in the mouth of business, perhaps because, unlike commitment and excellence, it will never go out of style. Ideas in this world are always in short supply–even bad ones. People who can draw on their inner resources at will, and come up with thoughts others can, at least, discuss, are an asset to an organization that must constantly generate the illusion of planned activity. So do your best to tap your creativity when people are looking for solutions. And don't be afraid to put your ideas across, either, no matter how dumb you may suspect them to be. Creativity lies in the quantity of thought produced as well as the quality. If you hit one out of three, you'll still be carrying a major-league batting average.” — Stanley Bing

Stanley Bing was a master of business humor, a narrower-than-normal niche but one he filled with wit, acid and panache. And every so often, you can turn a page and, hidden amongst the flinty, wry observations, is a profound truth that hits you like a ton of bricks.
