Worse than that, focusing on oneself is toxic to creativity in the first place. Wile E. Coyote's business card says "Genius". But it's the Roadrunner who is in a state of creative flow.
Really good ideas often don't seem like much even to the person who's having them. They're fragile. It takes tolerance and suspension of judgment to allow them to survive even for half a second. This is a form of listening, one that goes hand in hand with the ability to listen to others, which makes sense since creativity is also a kind of other.
