System, Strategy + Heart for Creative Teams

What hooks me isn't a new framework on innovation—it's how Dr. Climer weaves her personal stories and experiences into the narrative. From her mother's life-saving treatment at Mayo to life as a whitewater instructor, these anecdotes bring depth to her message that creativity is about changing lives and doing good in the world. This book is refreshingly NOT authored by AI. It's pure wisdom from an expert's lived experience.

Dr. Climer dispels the myth that creativity strikes through magic and instead delivers a systematic, research-backed approach leaders can implement. I appreciated her candid discussion about barriers to innovation and her explanation of when to approach changes as technical versus adaptive problems.

This audiobook works exceptionally well—personal stories come more alive when narrated by their author. For leaders looking to cultivate innovation in their teams, this provides a roadmap with the humanity often missing from business texts.
