Quotes from Teresa Amabile

Creativity depends on a number of things: experience, including knowledge and technical skills; talent; an ability to think in new ways; and the capacity to push through uncreative dry spells.

The best way to help people to maximize their creative potential is to allow them to do something they love.

People are the least creative when fighting the clock... Time pressure stifles creativity because people can't deeply engage with the problem.

The desire to do something because you find it deeply satisfying and personally challenging inspires the highest levels of creativity, whether it's in the arts, sciences, or business.
