| Abstract: | To move forward, society needs geniuses -those rare individuals whose flashes of insight and imagination change the way we live and see the world. Traditionally we look for them in the arts and sciences, but geniuses appear in many guises. They can be engineers, designers, analysts, and even managers. Yet for all their creative energy, geniuses don't always make the best employees, colleagues, or bosses. They are notoriously prickly people, and they can be fiercely individualistic. Moreover, they can be surprisingly fragile. They frequently act with flamboyance, but inside they are deeply vulnerable. In this article, Morris discusses the roots of creativity, the truth about prima donnas, the dangers of living with mediocrity, and his drive toward authenticity. |
