### Editor's Note ### Greetings, friends, from All Things Open in Raleigh, North Carolina![1] I hope you're having a wonderful week so far. And prepare yourselves: It's about to get much better. Ambassador Heidi Hess von Ludewig has just released her contribution to the upcoming second edition of _The Open Organization Leaders Manual_, and it's awesome—a sustained and thoughtful look at the complex and confounding nature of this thing we call "creativity," and how it relates to innovation in the open organization. Check it out.
