Taking Creativity to the Classroom

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Creativity in Management Education

Abstract

Alongside the previous chapter of this book, this chapter presents a narrative of a play game called ‘protecting our most precious selves’. This narrative is closely related to personal memories as a management educator. Through its writing, it becomes clearer that creativity in the classroom needs to be protected from the excessive operation of power emergent functions (‘creative subjects’ and ‘lack of time’) of soft tyrannies in management education. In the chapter, other rules to play this game are drawn.
