1. What are the four Essential Creative Principles, and how does each one contribute to the success of the Pike Place Fish Market?
1) Play: Play is not just an activity; it's a state of mind that brings new energy to tasks and sparks creative solutions.
2) Make Their Day: When you make someone's day through a small act of kindness, you can turn routine encounters into special memories.
3) Be There: In other words, help one another cope. Being there is also a way to practice wholeheartedness and fight burnout - after all, it's the half-hearted tasks performed while juggling other things that wear out employees.
4) Choose Your Attitude: When you look for the worst, you find it everywhere. When you learn you have the power to choose your response to what life brings, you can look for the best and find opportunities you never imagined possible.
