Creativity

Generating new ideas.

Creativity is the ability to generate ideas, solutions or expressions that are original and didn't previously exist in that form. People who value creativity refuse to always apply the known formula and enjoy exploring new combinations, whether in art, solving technical problems or everyday life. This value requires tolerance for uncertainty and for imperfect first attempts, because creating something new means accepting the risk of getting it wrong. Beyond artistic talent, creativity is a way of thinking that transfers to any field: those who prioritize it constantly look for different angles on the challenges they face.
