I just came across an interesting article on Fast Company about the 6 myths of creativity. Their list goes as follows:

2. Money Is a Creativity Motivator
3. Time Pressure Fuels Creativity

5. Competition Beats Collaboration
6. A Streamlined Organization Is a Creative Organization

I totally agree; these beliefs that many people in management positions hold about creativity and what triggers it are simply wrong and have nothing to do with reality.
