People say they want creativity but they only really want it when they themselves are the source of the creativity. People want creativity for themselves but then want to shoot down everyone else's ideas so theirs can be the only one standing. I think the Silicon Valley has not been able to rid itself of this aspect of traditional corporate settings.

It feels like people are constantly in competition with others on their team and creativity suffers as a result. Lately, I have found myself giving people room to collaborate on (or do) things I would typically do myself. They can get satisfaction out of being a contributing part of the creative process. I also don't feel as though them being creative or succeeding is a failure on my part or a negative reflection on me.
