What is the most important
quality of an entrepreneur? Many would argue passion and the determination to
see one's dreams realized. Others might say leadership, the ability to guide
and motivate a team. But at HotDogue Culture we believe the predictor of
success is determined by creativity – the ability to see the world through a
different lens.
In order to have creative
breakthroughs, scientists say it’s necessary to combine two modes of thinking,
convergent and divergent. Convergent thinking is highly analytical, focusing on
arriving at one correct solution given the available data, whereas divergent
thinking brings about creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.
To be creative, there must be
divergent thinking. Divergent thinking can be found in the arts, and this,
unfortunately, is the type of thinking that is lacking in the corporate world.
So, fine tune your convergent and divergent modes for innovative and creative
solutions to your business problems. I see the world through a heart-shaped
lens, and it looks pretty dam good.
With lovingkindness,
