Bravo!

Recall, there are still major vestiges of the cenobitic monastic tradition of the Middle Ages in today's 'modern' workplace. Like today's enterprise, monks (employees) strained to attain conformity. As today, bishops (managers) were chosen (promoted) from the ranks of monks for their ability to conform (not perform).

The physical plant of the monastery (office) was designed to facilitate isolated, individual information tasks (transactions). There was a strict vow-of-silence (Stop talking! Get back to 'work'.).

Like the monks, simple meals are taken alone, again, in silence, at long tables (corporate cafeteria.) In many organizations and the monastic tradition, creativity was/is a liability, certainly not an asset.

IMO, creativity is first major human rights battle of the 21st Century. Be prepared to fight!
