Creativity and innovation are two related but separate notions, and each is required for workplace success. Here's the difference, and how you can inspire both.

- Creativity doesn't always run company inventions and growth; innovation does. However, innovation doesn't happen without creative people on board.
- Generating creativity means allowing people to think outside the box and go against the norm sometimes.
- If you let bureaucracy stop creativity, innovation will be the victim in your company, letting your competitors move ahead with new market share growth.

"Creativity" and "innovation" are two words that are constantly thrown around in brainstorming sessions, corporate meetings and company mission statements. There's no question that these values are highly prized in the fast-paced modern workplace, but do leaders who use the terms truly know the difference between them?
