My views? In order to create a creative environment, people need more space to throw ideas out and critics things and situation, in order for things to improve. If people get hammered down everytime, then creative(thinking) people are forced to conform. Edward de Bono suggests that creative people tend to question things and situation around to break it down before creating something new.
