The human mind is a marvel, a sophisticated machine capable of both boundless imagination and sharp analysis. Two of its most celebrated feats are creative thinking and critical thinking. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct mental processes that serve different purposes. To harness the true potential of our minds, it's essential to understand and appreciate both.

Definition: Creative thinking is the process of generating new, original ideas and solutions. It involves stepping outside conventional boundaries, taking risks, and embracing uncertainty.

Creative thinking is the ability to come up with unique, original solutions. Also known as creative problem-solving, creative thinking is a valuable and marketable soft skill in a wide variety of careers. Here's what you need to know about creative thinking at work and how to use it to land a job.

Creative thinking is all about developing innovative solutions to problems. Creative thinkers brainstorm not only a large number of ideas but also a variety and range of them. In the workplace, creative thinking is highly valuable because employers look to hire innovative employees who can help them solve the company's problems.

So, what does creative thinking in the workplace look like? First, a creative person brainstorms their ideas, then they'll experiment with them. They look at ideas from multiple perspectives and examine how their solutions fit into the scope of what they're working on. Creative thinkers aren't afraid to take risks and try new ideas. In fact, this ability to develop, test, and implement original solutions makes them a valuable asset to just about any workplace.

Creative thinking in the workplace might look like:

1. Holding an interactive brainstorm to gather initial thoughts on a project
2. Evaluating a current process and offering suggestions on how to improve it
3. Researching other ways to market a product and leading experiments on new marketing channels
4. Developing an innovative way to reach out to prospective clients
5. Identifying a unique opportunity to promote the company brand and developing a strategy to do so
6. Discovering a new way to measure a product initiative's success and using learnings to iterate on the next version

Creative thinking includes the process of innovative problem-solving – from analyzing the facts to brainstorming to working with others. Creative thinking examples include analytical skills, innovation, and collaboration.

Characteristics of Creative Thinkers:

1. Open-mindedness: They remain receptive to different viewpoints and unfamiliar concepts.
2. Risk-taking: They are willing to challenge the status quo and explore uncharted territories.
3. Flexibility: They adapt and pivot when faced with obstacles or new information.
4. Applications: Creative thinking can be observed in artistic ventures, brainstorming sessions, problem-solving where the usual solutions don't apply, and in innovative scientific discoveries.

Everyone Should Become a Creative Thinker
Being able to train your mind to think creatively helps you invent, problem-solve, create and communicate in fresh, new ways. When you think open-mindedly you become a happier person ready to accept exciting surprises from life.
