I rent creativity from Starbucks. And it costs me $2.30 (the exact price, coincidentally, as a Venti Bold coffee, black, filled to the rim).
I need time away from my office, away from my desk and the normal demands of my job. I can get so sucked into the day-to-day that I forget to lift my head up and move beyond the task list in front of me. And if you’re a leader, you need that time, too.
For the role it plays, $2.30 is pretty cheap to rent a little creative space.
