10 Insights (Ah Ha's) on Creative Problem Solving

10 Insights (Ah Ha’s) into Creativity and Creative Problem Solving From George Torok, Creativity Catalyst, Creative Facilitator & Creativity Speaker www.Torok.com Simplicity can be creativity in action © George Torok all rights reserved

The first rule of creative thinking is to forget what you think you know - because everything is an illusion.

Creative people are not necessarily more intelligent - just more curious.

We need more problem finders. Problem solvers are a dime a dozen. But undiscovered problems are treasures.

Creativity is one of our most innate characteristics. We were all most creative when we were toddlers. But growing up tends to drum that out of us.

If you want others to be receptive to your creative ideas - first help them laugh. Laughter opens the mind to new ideas.

Never introduce a new idea in a board meeting. That is the place to extinguish new ideas and execute the introducer.

When you think that you know the answers - you will not be open to creative thinking.

Creativity is not just for artists and crazy people. Creativity is a powerful success-skill.

Creative thinking means being open to change and most of us just want the other person to change.

Creative thinking is more about asking questions than about having the answers.

Bonus: One More Creative Insight If you want to be more creative, do something you haven't done for a long time. Visit the zoo, learn a new skill, walk through a different part of town, read a children's story or learn a new dance.
