Where you find efficient and elegant processes you will find open-minded, high quality leaders and managers. These processes make complex activities appear simple as opposed to poor process which make simple activities complex. Talented workers will recognise poor processes and leave the organisation if they unable to change the process ( ...and there is another job waiting for them).
With a simple and efficient processes in place, which are allowed to evolve and change, creativity will flourish. The mind can focus on developing innovate solutions to other issues as opposed to worrying about breaking something (system, code, database, document etc) while following a poor process.
