No, creativity is a kind of temperament. You can give creative people better tools, but you can't do much to change people's mode of working with the world.
Of course you can kill creative impulses. Perhaps that is what you have in mind as something to be avoided.
Yes. And I happen to believe that creativity can itself indeed be taught. I don't think it is a 'temperament'. I think it is a mindset that is trained within an individual.
Some folks of course have more raw 'creative talent' than others, but the basics of being creative are available to be taught in my view.
Thanks for answering my question.
