Creative thinking is the process of generating novel ideas and alternatives to solve problems. It should not replace critical thinking, but be used initially to produce potential solutions, which are then analyzed critically. Supervisors can foster creativity by valuing new suggestions, giving credit for ideas that are implemented, and acknowledging that failure is part of the creative process rather than assigning blame. Generating creative ideas involves learning about problems, incubating ideas unconsciously, and shaping ideas to make them practical.

Creativity ? Creativity ? The ability to bring about something imaginative or new. ? When a problem seems unsolvable, the supervisor needs creativity to find a fresh approach. 9-3
What is creative thinking? Creative thinking is the process of generating novel ideas and alternative courses of action, no matter how good those ideas and alternatives might be. Creative thinking should not be seen as an alternative to critical thinking When you have recognised a problem, then you should employ creative thinking to produce some options for solving the problem, then you should employ critical thinking If you haven¡¯t come up with enough options to begin with, then your critical thinking decision procedure might produce the wrong result¡­ a dangerous result!
Generating Creative Ideas1. Gather the raw materials by learning about the problem and developing your general knowledge. 2. Work over those materials in your mind. 3. Incubate; let your unconscious mind do the work. 4. Identify an idea. 5. Shape and develop the idea to make it practical. 9-5
Establishing and Maintaining a Creative Work Climate ? A supervisor should show that he or she values creativity. ? When employees offer suggestions, a supervisor should listen attentively and look for the positive aspects of the suggestions. 9-6
Establishing and Maintaining a Creative Work Climate ? A supervisor should attempt to implement employees¡¯ ideas and should give them credit. ? When ideas fail, a supervisor should acknowledge that failure is a sign that people are trying. ? A supervisor should help employees see what can be learned from the failure. 9-7
Overcoming Barriers to Creativity ? Accept that failures by employees will occur. ? If an idea fails, a supervisor should acknowledge the problem and not try to pass blame on to someone else. ? Allow time for creative thinking. ? Avoid isolation. 9-8
? The meaning of creativity is being able to use your imagination to come up with something different and unique. Creativity can be having the skills to come up with stories, having the skills to come up with new methods to do something, or even thinking up a new concept. Creativity can be a child who decides to color a tree blue because they think it's pretty, not because it's the first color they picked up.
?Creativity does not take thing for granted. ?It adopts new methods to get result. ?IT question established way of doing thing and reject traditional thinking. ?It is more flexible and independent. ?I question authority and upsets routine to arrive at newer ideas. ?It work out viable solution to handle rising cost, deteriorating quality ,falling sales, low motivation and morale , poor image , industrial unrest and so on
?Preparation stage ?Incubation stage ?Illumination stage ?Verification stage
? We all exercise some level of creativity in our decision making. Without creative problem solving we would continue to do the same things, and making the same mistakes. I truly believe that we "customize" our lives to suit our unique circumstances.
Example ? Chains of Thought Example ? You have four three-link chain segments (shown in the figure) ? A jeweler has offered to connect the segments to make a ? complete circle ? To do so, he must open and re-solder some links at a cost of $50 ? per soldered link ? You only have $150, which means only three links can be ? opened and soldered ? So how can the job be completed? ? Open all three links of one segment and then use these three ? links to connect the remaining three segments
THANK YOU
