Synopsis

Today’s leaders simply can’t succeed without putting creativity in their toolbox.

If you don’t think you’re creative, that may sound discouraging. But take heart: creativity can be taught and practiced, and Create v. Copy shows you how.

This short, punchy book explores various aspects of creativity and imagination and leads you toward a healthy, confident, more innovative life mindset. It celebrates the good news of your God-given capacity to create and helps you harness it to take charge of your life, navigate changing times, and ultimately, flourish and succeed.

Having traveled to dozens of countries, founded the leading international conference on justice and theology, and collaborated with scores of nonprofits, Wytsma is uniquely fit to help us be culture-shapers in a world of global change. He blends theology, history, and cultural observation to show us what being God’s creative image-bearers might look like today.

Whether you're a parent, CEO, pastor, or politician, this fresh look at contemporary leadership will challenge the way you view your position of influence, and it will equip you to adapt and thrive in our perplexing yet exciting cultural climate.

Winner of the ECPA's Top Shelf Cover Award 2016

From the Back Cover

"Create vs. Copy is the gold standard for inspiring leaders to make their mark."-- Claire Diaz-Ortiz, author, speaker, Silicon Valley innovator
To succeed today we simply must add creativity to our toolbox. With how fast the world is changing, today's methods will soon be outdated. What we need for tomorrow is the ability to adapt and innovate, and to inspire the same in others.

Create vs. Copy will equip you to do just that. Exploring the theory and practice of creativity, imagination, and innovation, Ken shows you how to:
  • Cultivate a creative mindset in life and leadership
  • Approach problem solving with greater imagination
  • Rediscover why you do what you do and how to do it better
Everyone is born with God-given creativity waiting to be unleashed. When business slows, when funding dries up, when the home environment is tense--these are the moments that call for creativity and imagination. Are you ready?
