    The aim

    To help people understand how to think creatively.


    About the programme

    In this lecture-style presentation, John Cleese claims that creativity is not a special talent. People are either in an 'open' or 'closed' state of mind. The closed mode enables people to apply themselves to tasks with vigour and concentration; the open mode is more relaxed and conducive to creative thinking.

    Cleese talks about how leaders can induce an open mode in their team members and establish confidence in them to accept that there is a succession of learning steps on the road to total quality.
