This article introduces the concept of transformational creativity, which is creativity that is deployed to make a positive, meaningful, and potentially enduring difference to the world. Transformational creativity is compared to transactional creativity, which is creativity deployed in search of a reward, whether externally or internally generated. The article also discusses different kinds of transactional and transformational creativity. For example, some transactional creativity is inert, meaning that it never comes to fruition. Transformational creativity can be directed inward, outward, or both ways. The article also discusses pseudo-transformational creativity, which is offered by the creator as making the world a better place, when in fact its goal is to improve the lot of the person who is pseudo-transformationally creative. Many charismatic leaders are pseudo-transformational autocrats. It is concluded that, at this point in time, the world desperately needs the work of transformationally creative individuals.

变革性创造力：创造力、智慧和全球问题解决方案之间的联系

本文介绍了变革性创造力的概念，这种创造力旨在为世界带来积极、有意义和潜在的持久影响。将变革性创造力与交易性创造力进行比较，后者是为了寻求奖励而部署的创造力，无论是外部产生还是内部产生。本文还讨论了不同类型的交易性和变革性创造力。例如，一些交易性创造力是惰性的，这意味着它永远不会实现。变革性创造力可以是向内的、向外的，也可以是双向的。这篇文章还讨论了伪转化创造力，它是由创作者提供的，旨在让世界变得更美好，而实际上它的目标是改善伪转化创造力的人的命运。许多有魅力的领导者都是伪变革型的独裁者。结论是，在这个时间点，世界迫切需要具有变革性创造力的个人的工作。
