Career Tip of the Month: Focus on Creative Thinking
Creative thinking refers to generating unique and innovative ideas, solutions, and strategies that can help organizations achieve their goals and objectives. It also can:
- Break away from traditional and conventional ways of thinking
- Explore new and unconventional approaches to problem-solving, decision-making, and product development
- Create new opportunities for growth and success
To get you started, here are some questions to get you thinking about this topic:
- What are some examples of creative thinking that you have used, and how did they help you solve problems or generate new ideas?
- How can you develop your creative thinking skills further, and what resources or tools can help you do so?
- What are some barriers to creative thinking, and how can you overcome them?
