This week, I continued to learn more about the growth mindset by reading the article, "How to Spark Creativity When You're In a Rut" by Priscilla Claman.
This article lays out some interesting questions to ask in order to determine whether or not one is in a creativity rut. One thing that I learned within this article was that when people are trying to impress superiors, it decreases creativity. This should be expected as people are often thought of kissing up to their bosses to make them like the employee more.
One thing that I knew going in was that if we have to monotonous of a routine, our creativity decreases simply due to not getting outside of the box too often. Finally, one thing I would like to learn further on is why creativity is the most important item. Obviously creative solutions are important to innovate, but why is collaboration or something similar not higher?
Either way, it was a great read, and I am excited to learn more moving forward!
