Ever since I started mowing lawns as a kid to make a little money, I've approached my work in a creative way. I've come to recognize this in doing the research for my book and reflecting on my career of teaching, consulting, and professional skulduggery. In mowing lawns for instance, I would try different patterns of mowing to see if things went faster or it made it easier. But I also started realizing that the various patterns made the lawn appear differently, sometimes making it look very cool.
