Most people are born creative. As children, we revel in imaginary play, ask outlandish questions, draw blobs and call them dinosaurs. But over time, because of socialization and formal education, a lot of us start to stifle those impulses. We learn to be warier of judgment, more cautious, more analytical. The world seems to divide into “creatives” and “noncreatives,” and too many people consciously or unconsciously resign themselves to the latter category.
And yet we know that creativity is essential to success in any discipline or industry. According to a recent IBM survey of chief executives around the world, it’s the most sought-after trait in leaders today. No one can deny that creative thinking has enabled the rise and continued success of countless companies, from start-ups like Facebook and Google to stalwarts like Procter & Gamble and General Electric.

What is creative thinking, why do we need it and how do we learn ith20ho
Creative thinking is a process that allows one to look at problems in new ways and generate unique ideas. It involves becoming flexible and thinking illogically. We need creative thinkers to solve problems and develop better solutions. Everyone is capable of learning creative thinking through repeatable processes and techniques. For example, one can capture ideas from dreams, which the subconscious continues to generate while sleeping. It is important to separate problem-solving into understanding the situation and generating alternative solutions rather than settling on the first idea.

In the second meeting, which used a Solutions Focus approach, the group quickly agreed on a future perfect solution after just five minutes. They then identified existing resources to help and small immediate steps to take, leaving with a belief progress would be made. The document advocates for Solutions Focus as a way to more efficiently tackle challenges through a positive, solution-oriented mindset.

Great creative leaders (witness Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech) use metaphor a great deal to illustrate, persuade and inspire. Metaphors influence how you think and how you act. In this document, we explore the use of metaphor and its structure. We show how metaphors help shape your thinking and the thinking of others. We illustrate how you can use them in practical ways in work and workshops to transform teams.
