The final presentation I gave in my MBA program involved me taking off my pants. It was meant to be a literal representation of the shedding of my inhibitions. Lest I were to doubt my own comfort with risk by the end of the program, I decided to stand before the class and take off my pants.

Cheap shock tactic? Perhaps. Liberating? Yes. Pointless? Not quite. My message was clear: know your boundaries and challenge them. To paraphase Seth Godin, forget thinking outside the box; it is at the edges of what we deem possible that creativity is most potent.
