One of the main researchers studying creativity is a woman by the name of Anne Cummings. Google her name along with ‘creativity’ and it should give you a good starting point.

Thanks for the comment, Alicia. Having a group of people ready to encourage and challenge you is a fantastic way to keep yourself sharp (iron sharpening iron).

Wow, Puf! That’s an amazing analysis. I want to keep fanning my flame, and I do that by interacting with others and bringing their ideas to fruition. Thanks for laying it on the line, amigo!

Dude, here’s my 2 cents: you’ve got fire or you don’t. If you got it (which you do), and you want to stay on top of your game, then:
Learn your craft. Don’t learn tricks of the trade, learn the trade. Read, listen to, converse with those whose expertise you admire, but also study those you disagree with. You don’t know what right looks like, if you don’t know what wrong looks like.
Never quit. Quitting is for suckers. If you are willing to let others get you down, then get out of H.R., get out of the work force period. Only you control you. So, stoke the fire in your belly, no one else can.
