"There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish"

About this Quote
This quote by Warren G. Bennis talks to the idea that imagination can be revealed in several ways. He suggests that one can be creative by taking part in tasks such as vocal singing and dance, or by creating a setting in which others can do the very same. This could mean developing an area that contributes to creativity, such as a workshop or a rehearsal room. It can likewise suggest supplying resources as well as assistance to those who are imaginative, such as giving accessibility to tools or giving mentorship. Eventually, Bennis is suggesting that imagination is not restricted to one particular activity, yet rather can be expressed in a variety of ways. By creating an environment in which imagination can thrive, we can promote a society of imagination as well as development.
