- What if teams could tap into their collective creativity and lead innovation - not just sporadically, but consistently? When teams have a shared purpose, strong team dynamics, and use a creative process, they have the ability to innovate when needed deliberately. Amy Climer has coached hundreds of individuals and teams helping them be more creative. Through her research, she developed an assessment tool to measure the three elements all teams need in order to be creative. Dr. Amy Climer works with teams who want to be amazing, collaborate at a higher level, and solve problems creatively. She is a speaker, trainer, and coach focusing on creativity and innovation. Her clients describe her as approachable, inspiring, and transformative. Amy has a Ph.D. in Leadership and Change. She hosts The Deliberate Creative™ Podcast where she shares practical advice and strategies to help leaders build innovative teams. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
The courage to speak up to more senior people is now called a new generation of the work force. All that aside, every generation thinks it either knows best or knows it all. Thank goodness collaboration is now vogue.
This is so so true!
who would have saw it coming!
I love how you get us to think about practicing adaptive leadership - looking at our role and how WE respond. Meeting people where they are and asking questions as ways to grow creative conversations. Thank you Amy!
This is a solution for the USA right now too, if people could begin to talk, and listen.
2 people who work together do the work of 3.

teamwork should be this new years resolution!
What a delightful talk and enthusiastic energy. I love the line 'I thought he was kidding'. Refreshing and inspiring talk. Go Amy!
Thanks Dennis! I was a bit embarrassed in the moment when I laughed out loud. Of course, now I laugh about that!
She's such a joy to watch!
Gosh this was a good one! I love this lady's perspective! Brilliant! :)
Thank you Carol! I hope it can help your team be more creative (and if you need help, let me know).
Have we been in the same meetings? People gazing about lost, disengaged, bored. Isn't it management that needs to inspire us to be inspired?
Where you sitting on my right Charles? haha. Thanks for sending me this link.
ha! Sounds like we have been in the same meetings Charles!
I was in the same meeting too... hahaha
And now zoom meetings, every day, too many and all it's about is attendance.
Finally watched and glad I did, thanks chuck
I think the things she figured out could very easily be translated into almost any working environment or even friendships and relationships! All the good things come from our creative brain. Really loved this talk!!
yes, and it is needed in every workplace too.
This is exactly why I've always been a fan of the boardroom brainstorm, as long as it stays on task! And then the creative team having the space and ability to do as they see fit and continue to include the rest of the team along the project... I swear it keeps up morale!
It does keep up morale Mario. Have you seen the research by Dr. Teresa Amabile called The Progress Principle? She did an impressive study and learned that as we make small forward steps on a project, that increases our creativity and our sense of satisfaction. It definitely fits my experience as well.
@@AmyClimer Read this guys comment and found you had replied, very excited to read up on this research by Dr. Teresa Amabile now, thank you!
@@natalyaguilerafigueroa Of course! Glad it may be helpful to you! 😊
@@AmyClimer 👍
Love this talk! You've got me thinking about how I can lead our nonprofit board meetings in a way that fosters more "psychological safety" so people feel more comfortable opening up and throwing out ideas. Thanks Amy!
Very good talk and in brainstorming how we need to speak up and not let old thinking dictate direction. Maturity doesn't mean you know it all, what works and what doesn't.
I can feel the wheels turning in my head as a result of this TED talk. I love it when I am challenged and inspired to act. This is exactly what this deliberate creative process does. Thank you Amy Climer for reminding me to engage and get to know the Phils.
Thank you Sarah!
Really awesome talk! I recently got into a position to manage a creative team after working other teams. Creative teams work... different. I did not really know how to approach them, since my previous experience were with really financially motivated teams in an extremly competitive environment. I quickly learned that you cannot put a creative person under the same pressure as a stock broker, but did not know how to tap their potentials.
You really helped me out. I will have to grow as a person and become more understanding and supportive for my people. I no longer get to be the sergeant, that orders his people directly into the line of fire and trust on them to come out on top but rather a general, that gives rough directions and let them figure out the in between the objectives. Also I learned that I really have to change my tone and approach, hard works and stress don't work here.
But if you give these guys the opportunity to use their talents, boy, can they deliver!
@Lith7ium! I'm so glad this was helpful.
I think you are spot-on - it's about letting team member bring their skills and talents to the work. When you do, they will flourish. Your analogy about a general works well here. It will even work with the stock broker teams. 😊
Just brilliant, and in these times when we are divided, a talk on collaboration is exactly what's needed!
Such a fantastic unpacking of how to be "deliberately creative!"
Thanks!
It was so informative!
Amazing! So much to get from this! Sharing right away!
you only share great things, thank you!
@@peterdgrubb you are so welcome
Well played Amy. The hallmark of an expert is someone who can clearly articulate their process to achieve results. You did this in spades. I also agree with the value of intentionality, what you call deliberate. So critical to success, yet, in my experience, so often overlooked.
Thanks Mark!
Great talk Amy! The separation of ideas and the evaluation of those ideas is very interesting and seems to me that it would require restraint on the part of the team members. Being able to have that restraint would contribute to a safe environment. It would be great to see an example of how that would work in practice. Lots of valuable information!
You are right - that separation is important. I teach those strategies in my Deliberate Creative workshops to help teams understand how to apply them. When you have a clear process for how to to this, it's surprisingly simple.
Yes! How much more productive would teams be, imagine the ideas flying, the morale would be superb. This lady knows!
Thanks Busby! Yes! When people can share ideas, productivity and morale can go up. It's almost like magic! 😂😊
Never has this been more true than now in 2021!
I think these points go for more than just creative teams, but any circumstance where you have to work together. Staff morale, dynamics... They play such an important part in how we put ourselves forward, or don't. When you are with like minded people, or not even like minded but have the ability to communicate openly and to be authentic, that's where all the innovation comes from! Such a fantastic talk and I really think this is such a beautiful thing for so many people to see
Yeah I agree hey
I was thinking exactly this while watching. So many of these things would just help so many dynamics between people in every day life.
Creativity is the buzz word of the 21st century. Bring it on.
What a wonderful, complete and inspiring talk!! This is one that gives me immediate ideas and action steps on how to work together with my team better!! Amazing to get Amy's informed and researched information through Ted--this network shows the power of collaboration and people really working together, and I think its a model for all of us. Thanks for sharing, Amy!
Thank you!
There is nothing more rewarding than being on an energetic creative team, regardless of age. Wisdom and experience can guide the process toward the bigger picture; the journey is all about the discovery and delivery of a team working together. If you take that away, you loose drive and the individual passion to make it happen.
Isn't this the absolute truth! It's amazing what can be accomplished in such a setting.
beautiful!
Excellent presentation . Amy is a most impressive speaker , poised , with complete mastery of her subject .With no support from humor , she manages to hold the audience's interest and attention . Excellent presentation.
Thank you Leta!
Such an important point! Something was happening to Phil when he walked through that door. Excellent - and great call to action!
I appreciate what she is saying, and I think she makes an amazing team leader. Often the reality is quite different and more like the way her story began.
Judgement is the killer of the creative process. Great info in this talk.
It surely is! So quickly judgement can kill any idea and morale.
I learnt a very big lesson today, one I probably have known for years, I don't have to do it all myself and when I don't it's often done better.
Like really. I am saving this one for later. So many important bits in here I just hadn't thought of
@@zackarnold1560 it is true, the collective has so much more power to the individual.
Really great talk!! If only our leaders understood this, what is happening right now is frightening.
Makes such total sense. My team is only three of us, but if we talk about shared purpose and refine the way we work together I feel quite sure everyone will feel great about both purpose and process. Thank you, Amy.
Thanks Jane! Let me know how it goes with your team.
I've been researching best practices for team building and this has given me so much to think about! Really enjoyed this woman and her talk, excellent!
I needed to hear this, home officing means loads of Zooms, means loads of leadership meetings, means loads of frustration.
I'm glad it was helpful Gabor! I do think virtual meetings are highlighting these challenges even more.
Why is so hard for so many to understand that we would have nothing if it weren't for the creatives, the innovators!! Amy has articulated it so well. Brilliant talk!
Thanks Sherrie! 😊
This was a great TEDx talk! I think the story about Phil is very powerful and insightful. I also thought one of the best nuggets for me was your discussion on how our brains can’t be creative and judgmental/evaluative at the same time. That’s a fantastic and important thing for facilitators to use. Complete pleasure to listen to you!
Thanks Ken! I agree!. I have found the distinction between the two ways of thinking incredibly powerful and helpful for myself and my clients.
I do like this talk, it could make such a difference!
Stephanie Dilsterp thank you!
Brilliant! For too long creative teams have been hidden away in most companies, where they are so much more valuable in the mix of it all. It's the creative team that really pushes any project!!
it is... loved this
Absolutely love this. There are so many great small changes we can make to shift the perspective from "no, that will never work" to "I hear you on that...what else do we need to make that work?" Along with this, we also need to shift mindsets from "I'm not an artist or creative person so I can't help with this" to increase engagement in the process.
Well said Callie!
Way to go Amy. You knocked it out of the park.
Thanks Dawn!
Great point about entering and guiding the conversation! I loved how Amy told her story as we can all relate to how it feels to be "shut down!" Thanks for sharing!
I know that feeling, our Phil's name is Dennis, Mansplainer supreme
Amy. Great job on the TedX talk! Thank you for your drive to creativity and your approachable practices in business. I appreciate your perspective and your knowledge. A huge asset.
Thanks Zach!
Great job of framing these ideas with clarity and offering actionable steps to make a difference in the world! Thank you, Amy.
Thanks Jani!
Amy's presentation on the importance of team creativity and how to get there is very clear and helpful!!!
Thanks Libby!
Amy - I love your perspective and work! Your stories make it real. I just attended an ISTE conference on Creativity and I believe we need to set the conditions in education for learners to use creativity to solve challenges that are authentic and relevant!!
I completely agree Beth!
Excellent presentation Amy! I loved the highlight of how "we can't engage in generating ideas and evaluate them at the same time."
Thanks Tony! Good luck generating lots of new ideas!
Amy, this is awesome! Well organized, great research and concepts and well presented! Well Done!!!! Bravo!!
Thanks Donna!
Excellent. Easy to follow and encouraging.
Thank you!
Creativity is in our DNA as you said but thanks very much Amy for helping us by synthesize the few ingredients to ignite it when
working as a team.
Do not miss The Deliberate Creative Podcast series, this is a massive source of learning, so inspiring !
Thanks David!
Saved to my playlist. Thanks Amy for a great talk. "Team Purpose" I heard you!
Awesome Teona!
Thoughtful process
When you look around its all about creativity, though I'm a bit on the fence when it comes to AI and how this is leading so many organizations. Data may answer some questions, though I hope the door is open to discovery first.
Great job Amy! Thanks for sharing such an important message about team effectiveness. Looking forward to talking this information back to some of the teams we work with. Thank you!
Thank you! If you are interested in using the Deliberate Creative Teams Scale with your teams, let me know.
Process, yes process is the plan of innovation, the road map to success.
true
Love this! Teams DO need to be ready to take the next steps, need to be ready to create new ideas. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Maura!
Amy, loved the talk, the three main points, the back story on Phil, and the possibility that this talk might just change the way we all do things in our organizations. Thank you!
Thanks Mary! If I can spark some change that increases creativity in teams, I'll be thrilled!
Yay!! Great job with this Amy and super valuable info presented in an accessible and useful way. Definitely has me thinking about the teams in my life!
Thanks Nathan!
Thanks Amy. If we could all engage our 'Phil' in the way your have outlined, we would have much more creative teams, creative organisations and creative industries!
Thanks Corrinne! I completely agree!
Thanks for the perspective. It's so important that we keep driving for more creativity and open-mindedness.
Yes!
Wonderful presentation, Amy!
Thanks Michelle!
Great discussion on how to help teams be more creative - love the "call to action" and specific steps for how to apply what you've learned from your research.
Thanks Laura!
Let's get creative!
What a magnificent journey!! I love this woman's perspective and her need to understand. Full of incredibly inspiring points. This talk deserves so many more views, considering the climate of today's creative teams this could help so very much.
Agreed! It was an AMAZING topic. An incredibly intelligent lady!
I am watching this, for the 3rd time
!!!!
Awesome talk, Amy! Very useful.
Thanks Daniel!
i hope mr. Phil and you Mam are still friends... When you work together for a second time, it would be very successful.
Mr. Phil as the evaluator with years of decade of experience
You, Mam, as the creative with years of experience meeting different companies.
Thank you Mam for sharing your wisdom!
Creativity is the process, its like a love affair with the project that tests you, challenges you and drives you to make it happen. Easily compared to any love affair!
ha! So true Stan! Great analogy.
oh yes it really is!
Hi! I love this talk. Do we have a transcript for this?
Creativity must have room to flourish. The task masters of the world just tell people what to do and how. This is a very very old management style.
Businesses aren't left behind because they stayed the same, the people who worked for them stayed the same. The new ones emerging were created by forward thinkers and new generations. Lack of internal personal and personel change is only concerned by the status quo. Any reference to the way it used to be is always a sign that change is required.
Great point that it's about people staying the same. I think of a business as a group of people so you're right, it's not the business, it's the people. I'm loving seeing the new ideas and enterprises that are emerging right now. Lots of creativity happening!
I've been that person who has killed a brainstorming session because at that time I thought I knew it all. The truth is, at a certain stage in my career, I stopped leading with an open mind.
I've been that person too, oops.
I've been that person too! I think most of us have been there at one time or another. Now the challenge is to shift back into that open mind and listen. Setting up systems that increase creativity makes this easier.
Purpose to me is passion, that reason for being, commitment to my daily journey and testing myself in personal and professional forums. I've worked with many slackers in my time and I have no issue moving through obstacles. Not doing so, staying silent, status quo is just easier especially when you have been conditioned not to make waves. That's just not for me.
Oh yes, I know how this feels.
Trying to change our old conditioned thinking has been my lifetime journey and purpose. The line "this is how we do it" immediately demotivates me.
Great reframing of how ineffective attempts to help are actually well-intended, and making the case for finding more deliberate, effective process.
Thank you!
Being afraid to speak up is a common problem. I suppose its all part of a fear based structure. Its easier to keep people in line.
How does this work now remotely? better or worse? Any one have any experience?
I've been teaching teams how to be creative for years and have found it's the same remotely. Even before the pandemic I worked with remote teams. If teams are willing to embrace the collaborative technology tools, such as Mural, Miro, Jamboard, etc. then it's quite easy to be creative when remote.
What if management was smart enough to facilitate this?
Yes I would like to be left alone at work. If asked to do something let me do it. If you've changed your mind, by all means interupt me so I'm aware of the change.
It's time to shift the Phils!
Yes! And we all play a role in it. Thanks Dominick!
