Creative thinking styles

Use Template headings below to complete.

For this Discussion, you will consider your own creative thinking styles and how they differ from others in your current (or a past) workplace environment. Consider how different creative thinking styles can potentially create conflict among teams. You can review the five personality traits that were covered in a previous course by referring to the Digman article in the Optional Resources this week.

With these thoughts in mind, review this week’s reading paying particular attention to:

· An explanation of how you would approach the scenario differently and lead the group towards success if you were asked to lead the team.

· A description of how you would implement the three ways you identified above to help the group improve.

· Finally, include an explanation of how you could use the strategies described in this week’s chapter from Creative leadership: Skills that drive change to accommodate the diversity of thinking styles to lead the group in a unified direction.
