If you’re good enough at it, “telling other people what to invent” may be the single most marketable skill in the history of humanity. I wish someone would tell me what to invent.
There is no shortage of creative people in the world.

Giving them a voice, especially in a large company, on the other hand....

And there are some valid reasons for that, most "creative" people not very good at creating stuff that's actually useful for other people.
That’s actually an incredible skill few people have.
