Creative People (and Process Improvement, Too) -- Flemming Funch passes along a great snippet from Carl Rogers about creativity and comparisons to others. Ming also summarizes:

"If you only try to do what a good artist or a good writer or a good *something* does, you might well become good, but you probably won't become great, and you won't end up doing what you particularly are here to do. Rather it is about trusting your own process and finding what particularly it is that YOU do, and do that the very best you can."

Right in line with my oft-stated comments on bench-marking and best practices, which are great for playing catch-up but not leap-frog.

Along these lines, Esther Derby points to similar takes on Best and Useful Practices.

And BusinessPundit gives us a CFO.com/Mckinsey Quarterly article on the same topic.

OK, I think we've beat this meme to death. For now.
