In this introduction to creative thinking techniques to deliberately generate new ideas, David also talks about the ‘Two Modes of Thinking’.
These modes can conflict with each other if managed wrongly, or can both be highly effective if managed separately.
What to do next:
– Reflect on meetings in which ideas were invited and then immediately criticised. What was the effect on the person offering the idea?
– Resolve that in your own meetings you will avoid this problem by setting the rules and separating the two modes of thinking so that everyone is on the same wavelength.
