Drawing on a systematic review of 83 empirical studies, it situates everyday creativity within the wider field of creativity research, clarifying its relationship to established levels of creativity and synthesising psychological and sociocultural perspectives that shape how creative acts are understood and evaluated.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on this conceptual foundation, the book integrates key theoretical frameworks with rich organisational examples. Drawing on a study of 52 chief executive officers navigating the COVID‑19 pandemic, it reveals how leaders mobilised small creative acts to maintain stability, respond to emerging problems and, in some cases, catalyse organisational change. These cases illuminate the role of leadership, social relationships, contextual affordances and workplace conditions in enabling or constraining everyday creativity. The final chapter examines how everyday creative ideas evolve through successive creative cycles, showing how small insights can develop over time into more substantial innovations and shape the continuity of creative development.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBridging theory and practice, this book provides researchers, students and practitioners with a nuanced understanding of how everyday creativity unfolds and how it drives organisational innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAna Villanova \u003c\/strong\u003eis an independent consultant and researcher specializing in everyday creativity and organizational innovation.
