Both should form a part of each other. That is, creativity should contain efficiency and efficiency should also have some kind of creativity. Efficiency is more important. Everything involves cost be it monetary or in the form of time. A person, even if he is not creative, can do better in life if he is efficient. Though nowadays creativity is also required. Young minds have creative ideas. So, organisations also go for hiring youths. Their creative ideas have "efficiency" factor.

In my point of view, the efficiency is more important than creativity because, we know some people are gifted with creative mind in a particular field but the other who is not gifted with such quality is able to survive in today's world at the same time if he/she is not efficient at his work then he/she will definitely not going survive and will get fired.

As per my thinking point of view, efficiency is rather more important than the creative skills. A person can innovate new things by the use of him superficial mind but it's worthless without efficiency. The point creativity itself goes under efficiency. By taking an example if I say that plant is very efficient in production, that means there must some creativity would be there in that plant. So, the most important thing that we have to consider is efficiency, all other things can be adjusted by it.

Creativity is more important than efficiency. Efficiency can be improved by experience in that task or using technology. , whereas creativity is something which comes as a gift for certain brains. For example the creation of a calculator for efficient calculations.

Hello.

In my opinion, creativity is more important than efficiency. Because nowadays everyone likes to achieve more success in a short period of time. Due to high creativity, a person can do everything. So creativity is more efficiency.

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.

Hello friends,

Creativity and efficency both are important traits. Our personal as well as professional success depends upon both. Choosing one above the another depends upon situation to situation. Creativity becomes more important when it comes to innovation. New idea's, developing something new requires creativity first. It's okay to have less efficency at initial stages. But as the time goes, we need to start improving thereby increasing our efficency level. Again to increase our efficiency, it does require creativity, new techniques to learn, adapt and improve our work.

Thus both creativity and efficency are inter related with each other.

Creativity, of course, It has always been creativity which governs success. Let's look into our surroundings, we will find more number of efficient people than creative ones. But eventually, the creative ones turn to outshine others. I believe that even a creative person can turn out to be efficient in certain circumstances but vice versa would be something rare to find.

Both qualities are equally important since it is depending on the situation. For example, if you are in a job profession of fashion designing, animation, startups then it creates a lot of difference. At the same time efficiency is needed when we have to finish the given work in a fixed time period maintaining both quality & quantity. This is what happening in manufacturing industries today.

Let me start discussion on this very interesting topic "which is more important creativity or efficiency". Fom my point, I think the creativity is more important than efficiency. Because if a person, student, entrepreneur etc is creative, He/she can think out of box and come with a great idea. But it does not need to be very efficient to work on that idea. He/She can increase the man labour to work on that idea to complete it in given span of time.
