Discover Creative Thinking

January 19th, 2009 admin Posted in Business | 2 Comments »

Successful companies and individuals are required to eliminate attitudes that devalue creative thinking.  To foster creativity in the workplace, a creative company doesn’t rely on the same data that their competitors have access to.  The creative company seeks new experiences and ways of thinking about their market, products, and internal processes to insure their successes.

In the book “Thinking For a Change” by John C. Maxwell, the following phrases are listed to guarantee to kill creative thinking.  Don’t let yourself or anyone else subject you to these creativity killers.

* I’m Not a Creative Person

* Follow the Rules

* Don’t Ask Questions

* Don’t Be Different

* Stay Within the Lines

* There Is Only One Way

* Don’t Be Foolish

* Be Practical

* Be Serious

* Think of Your Image

* That’s Not Logical

* It’s Not Practical

* It’s Never Been Done

* It Can’t Be Done

* It Didn’t Work for Them

* We Tried That Before

* It’s Too Much Work

* We Can’t Afford to Make a Mistake

* It Will Be Too Hard to Administer

* We Don’t Have the Time

* We Don’t Have the Money

* Yes, But…

* Play is Frivolous

* Failure Is Final

“You can’t use up creativity.  The more you use, the more you have.”
