Pick up a copy of his "The Element," some of the best thinking on creativity, inspiring it, understanding it and finding your passion. The stories are real and genuinely helpful in your own development or that of your kids. Finally, know that I have nothing to do with Sir Ken or his publisher; I'm just a fan of what he believes and think you might be, too.

It's brilliant. I often have this devilish impulse to go through our office, which has nothing but white walls and go nuts with a big box of Crayolas. Never was able to purge the five year old out of me (and they never will...ha ha ha). Hi Paul…I love that whole image of giving people back their crayons. It’s brilliant.

We sacrifice our kids creativity at the altars of standardisation and convergent thinking. Why? Because, commonality is easier to manage and it's measureable. By the time kids turn 10 their crayons have long since been taken away and we've given them blue ballpoint pens. We clutch these for the the rest of our lives. It should be the mission of all managers, teachers and parents to give people back their crayons. Amen to that.
