Honestly? The biggest boost comes from the sheer variety of thought. Sticking to business memoirs and case studies just recycles the same Silicon Valley mindset. A wild sci-fi novel about a galactic trading consortium, or a historical fiction about the Medici bank, throws completely alien solutions at you. Your brain has to stretch to even comprehend the setting, and that stretch creates new neural pathways for creative problem-solving.

Waiting to see if anyone has concrete examples of a 'bad' book choice for this. Like, what novel would actually stifle team creativity? My guess: something overly cynical or nihilistic where every character fails due to forces beyond their control. You want stories of agency, however flawed.

Could backfire if the book is too on-the-nose. Reading a novel about a triumphant startup might just make everyone feel inadequate. Sometimes an unrelated genre—a heist movie’s meticulous planning, a mystery novel’s clue-gathering—can provide fresher analogies for business creativity than a story set in a boardroom.

Wait, are we talking about business parables like 'Who Moved My Cheese?' or actual literary fiction? Because the former feels patronizing, while the latter requires real engagement. I’d argue the difficult, ambiguous literary novels are the ones that truly stretch creativity. They don't hand you a lesson; they force you to construct meaning, which is the essence of creative thought.

Which leadership lessons can managers learn from fiction about corporations?

Ever noticed how the villains in corporate thrillers get ahead? They offer a pretty clear 'what not to do' list. The power-hungry CEO in something like 'The Circle' shows the disaster of prioritizing surveillance and control over trust. It's a reminder that sustainable leadership isn't about erasing employee privacy or demanding cult-like devotion. Real influence comes from building psychological safety, not a panopticon.

It's practice in 'sense-making.' The world throws chaotic events at us. A novel takes chaotic events (a murder, a war, a magical incursion) and shapes them into a coherent narrative with cause and effect. By following that process as a reader, you practice the fundamental human act of making sense of chaos. In business, strategy is sense-making: taking market data, competitor moves, and internal turmoil and weaving a coherent story about where to go next. Fiction is the gym where you build that narrative muscle.

Modern retellings of classics that shift context. 'The Belle of Belgrave Square' or any of the recent spate of Regency romances with a twist. Seeing how a familiar plot skeleton can be re-clothed with new characters, settings, or themes is a direct lesson in creative adaptation and remix culture. It demystifies the process of 'originality'.
