Synopsis
How can you tap into your team's creativity to tackle today's toughest business challenges? In The Firefly Effect , Kimberly Douglas presents inspiring yet pragmatic insights into getting your entire team firing on all cylinders and aiming in the right direction. Comparing the difficult act of harnessing and capturing creativity to the act of catching fireflies on a summer night, she will explain: What to do when the fireflies don't show up (or when creativity dries up) How to know when it's time to find a new meadow (or a new approach, place or process) What to do if the leader is keeping too tight a lid on the jar (and team innovation is gasping for air) How to get inventive when it rains on your firefly hunt (or parade of ideas) What happens when everyone is too busy to join in (and group problems remain unresolved), A counterintuitive take on developing creative and productive teams Great teams are often the difference between success and failure in business. Creative teams are the key to long-term success, achieving strategic goals, and lifting every team member to a higher, more effective personal best., Praise for the Firefly Effect "Insightful, fun, and transformative, Kimberly Douglas weaves practice and analogy into chapters that will spark the creativity of individuals, leaders, teams, and their organizations!" -Marshall Goldsmith NYT and WSJ #1 bestselling author of What Got You Here Wont Get You There "The Firefly Effect debunks the myth that creativity is an exclusive gift, shared by a select few.

Jones Sr. Cofounder and Chairman Emeritus, Humana Inc. "An incredible resource. Regardless of where you are in your career, The Firefly Effect will provide you with practical, easy-to-implement recommendations that will improve the effectiveness of staff meetings as well as ensure your success in orchestrating complex strategic planning meetings." -Janet Parker, SPHR Executive Vice President, Regions Financial Corporation 2007-2008 Chair, SHRM Board of Directors "Kimberly Douglas vividly brings to life the metaphor of the firefly hunt, providing us with measurable and actionable items that can lead to tangible business results." -John Saunders Vice President of Human Resources, UPS
