Creativity can be considered the catalyst for competitive advantage at both the individual and organizational levels of performance. Creativity can separate individuals and make one unique or seen to be unique in the eyes of others. This perception is sometimes the only thing that separates the individual from others in the eyes of customers, managers and peers.

What is Creativity?

Wikipedia defines Creativity as…

Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. Creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight. An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of making something new.

This question is for all your left brain dominated people, is your left brain getting in the way of your progress? Some of you know exactly what I’m talking about and some are asking “what is he talking about – left brain?”

Okay, first, what is the left brain and how does it impact you and your performance. The left brain is the seat of your logic, sequential thinking, it is where your words are kept, and it is the root for your “practical” or task oriented thinking and thoughts.
