Abstract: Abstract Teresa M. Amabile is one of the world’s leading thinkers on creativity and innovation. Her work has expanded our understanding of what it means to be creative, as well as the internal and external forces that influence it. Her contributions include measurement tools (Consensual Assessment Technique, Work Preference Inventory, KEYS to Creativity and Innovation), as well as conceptual models and principles (Dynamic Componential Model of Creativity and Innovation, Intrinsic Motivation Principle of Creativity, The Progress Principle). Through her efforts, rigorous scholarship in the field of creativity and innovation has flourished over the past four decades. Her legacy includes a much greater awareness of how the work environment shapes creativity and progress, as well as how much the inner work lives of employees matter for positive engagement and successful organizational change.
