I think creativity is more important than efficiency, Creativity means ability to create anything, and Efficiency means if we do any work with least waste of time and manner, and with the use of our skill and tallent.

Hello friends. I am Subhalaxmi.

According to my point of view creativity is more important than efficiency because creativity is something which makes us different from others. Everyone have efficiency but those who have innovative idea to do something they can able to differentiate themselves from others.

Hello friends, I'm Jyoti.

I would like to keep my point, creativity and efficiency both are very important to everyone to a successful life.

Because of without creativity we can not think of new ideas and also without efficiency we can't work effectively, and we can not get knowledge.

For example, Building planning is creativity, and building that work is efficient, so without planning we can't build so both are important in my opinion.

Hello Everyone, I am Nandini,

If someone ask me, which one is more important Creativity or Efficiency?

My answer would be both are equally important and incomplete without each other. If you are doing a work with fixed type of action again and again, then you are nothing less than a machine and you are doing any amount of work always in different ways then none of the ideas will reach its will reach to the stage, where we can call it is the best way to do a work and will never be efficient at the same time.

We are fortunate as a human to have the ability to learn, repeat and think out of the box sometimes. So, it's on us how and when we are using these competencies.

By striking a balance between creativity and efficiency, we can unleash our full potential and achieve remarkable outcomes.

Thank you.

Good evening, I'm Pooja.

I would like to keep my point of view, according to me, I think that creativity and efficiency both are very important, in their places but yes I can say that creativity is that which is more necessary because we can build efficiency by practising and maximizing our capabilities because efficiency is the power and capacity we have to work on time within minimum utilisation of resources but creativity is something we have to need because if we don't have it then how can we think and develop new ideas how we work on it. Creative plus efficient both are important and if we work with both we will get maximum outcome. That's what I think. Thanks.

If the question is creativity or efficiency which is more important, I must say both of them are the characteristics which choose a leader among people.

A leader always should be creative as well as efficient. We are humans, we evolved, we adapted, and we developed because we were creative. It is the creativity which brings in the innovations among us, which makes us alive in the changing earth. But at the same time, it is efficiency which helps us to make the innovations fulfilled in reality. A leader or every person should use his or her creativity effectively to be successful.

For example; an organization can take so many new policies or strategies to make more profit but at the same time every worker of that organization has to work efficiently to make the policies a success. So in the end, I must say, that both creativity and efficiency are needed and used properly to be successful in life.

Hello friends!

In my opinion, both creativity and efficiency is required to complete work. Creativity gives us a way to solve a problem whereas efficiency gives us time and resources during the completion of the task. Both are equally important to complete a task.

Hello everyone.

I would like to keep my views points on this topic.

According to me, creativity and efficiency both are important. Creativity means getting new ideas, new innovations, and doing things in a different way and efficiency means the quality of achieving the largest amount of useful work using as little energy, and effort. So in life, both are important.

According to me, creativity is far more important than efficiency because when there is creativity, there will be a chance of improving the efficiency of the system. I will try to elaborate on it with an example suppose, you are an owner of an organisation and the organization is running for more than 5-6 years, every day producing the same product. So, you will surely try to increase the profit of the organisation by cutting down the rate of producing per unit which will require a new method of producing the product. There comes a role of creativity, getting a new idea to increase the profit will definitely help you to be creative and that's what creativity is all about.

In my opinion, creativity is more important.

1. Innovation: Creativity is the driving force behind innovation. It involves thinking outside the box, coming up with new ideas, and solving problems in novel ways. Without creativity, progress and advancement in various fields would be stifled.

2. Adaptability: Creative thinking enables individuals and organizations to adapt to changing circumstances and challenges. It allows for flexibility and the ability to pivot when necessary.

3. Quality of Life: Creativity enhances our quality of life by bringing beauty, art, and culture into the world. It enriches our experiences and makes life more enjoyable and meaningful.

Note : Too much focus on efficiency at the expense of creativity can lead to stagnation and missed opportunities for innovation.

That's all from my point of view. Thank you.
