#69 Daniel Barth: Führen durch Kreativprozesse - Wer nichts verwirft, denkt nicht wirklich neu!
20.07.2026
1 Stunde 12 Minuten
Was, wenn das größte Hindernis für Kreativität in deinem Unternehmen gar nicht fehlendes Talent ist, sondern die Art, wie über Kreativität geredet wird? Daniel Barth, Experte für Organisationsentwicklung und Innovation bei Hubert Burda Media, bringt in dieser Folge von Talking Creativity etwas auf den Punkt, das die meisten Führungskräfte nie gehört haben wollen: "Seid kreativ!" ist nicht Ermutigung. Es ist Führungsversagen. Im Gespräch mit Martin & Bibi teilt Daniel, was er nach Jahren als Coach, Facilitator und Innovationsbegleiter wirklich gelernt hat: über Teams, die an Unsicherheit scheitern. Über Organisationen, die Kreativität wollen, aber Effizienz belohnen. Und über den einen Faktor, der über Erfolg oder Stillstand entscheidet: klares Ownership. Und dann ist da noch etwas, das kaum jemand laut sagt: Wer wirklich kreativ arbeitet, produziert einen Großteil seiner Ideen für die Tonne. Nicht aus Unfähigkeit, sondern weil das der Prozess ist. Die besten Kreativen der Welt verwerfen, iterieren und fangen neu an, ohne dabei ihre Meinung über sich selbst zu verlieren. Genau das ist die Fähigkeit, die in Unternehmen fast nie trainiert wird. Diese Folge ist kein Inspirations-Content. Sie ist ein ehrlicher, manchmal unbequemer Blick darauf, was kreatives Arbeiten in der Realität von Unternehmen wirklich bedeutet. Und was es braucht, damit es tatsächlich funktioniert. Fragen:1. Wem gehört die Idee eigentlich?   2. Kannst du mit Nicht-Wissen arbeiten, oder wartest du auf Sicherheit?   3. Ist dein Team wirklich psychologisch sicher genug für halbfertige Ideen?   4. Gibst du als Führungskraft echte Orientierung, oder versteckst du dich hinter Freiheit?   5. Weißt du gerade, ob du Ideen sammelst oder schon bewertest?   Du willst wissen was hinter der Fähigkeit Kreativität steckt und hast Lust selbst zu lernen wie man Kreativität trainiert und kultiviert? Dann schau dir unsere Master Class Angebote  an und lass dich von dieser wunderbaren Fähigkeit begeistern.

#68 David Bland - Think Big, Test Small: Turning creative concepts into real opportunities
22.06.2026
1 Stunde 4 Minuten
How do you take a raw idea, challenge it, test it, and turn it into something real without losing the spark that made it exciting in the first place? In this episode, David Bland explores how bold concepts can become testable prototypes, how hidden assumptions shape what succeeds or fails, and why the smartest teams learn before they build. We talk about protecting unconventional ideas, embracing low fidelity experiments, and finding better ways to measure progress when innovation is still taking shape. A must listen for teams and creators looking to transform ideas into products with less guesswork and more learning.  Questions to ask yourself: Which assumption behind my idea am I treating as fact without actually testing it? Am I building this solution because users truly need it, or because the idea simply feels exciting to me? What is the fastest and simplest experiment I could run to learn whether this idea is worth pursuing? Am I trying to prove my idea is right, or am I genuinely willing to discover that it is wrong?  Would you like to know what lies behind the ability to be creative and would you like to learn how to train and cultivate your creativity for yourself? Then take a look at our Master Class program and let yourself be inspired by this wonderful skill.

#67 David Cropley - Breaking the Mold: How unconventional thinking disrupts traditional engineering
18.05.2026
1 Stunde 9 Minuten
In a world where AI can calculate, optimize, and automate faster than ever, what remains the true human edge? In this episode, we talk with David Cropley, a renowned expert in creativity, innovation, and engineering, about why real competitive advantage will come from human creativity. David brings deep insight into how engineers and innovators can move beyond routine problem solving and become better problem finders, reframing challenges and asking the questions machines cannot ask on their own. Together, we discuss why creativity is a skill that can be developed, how failed ideas often become the starting point for breakthroughs, and why unconventional thinking is essential in modern engineering. A thought provoking conversation about the future of innovation, and why human imagination matters more, not less, in the age of AI. Questions to ask yourself: Are you really thinking creatively, or just repeating familiar patterns in a smarter way? If AI can do your routine work better and faster, what is the uniquely human value you bring? Do you give up on ideas too early just because they look like failure at first? Are you solving the right problem, or are you simply staying busy with the wrong one? Would you like to know what lies behind the ability to be creative and would you like to learn how to train and cultivate your creativity for yourself? Then take a look at our Master Class program and let yourself be inspired by this wonderful skill.
