The 6 Mindsets You Need to Become More Creative
For years, the creative process fascinated me.
I’ve always wanted to know where great artists, writers, and entrepreneurs get their ideas from.
Sometimes that question frustrated me as I thought successful creatives possess innate talents and gifts that the rest of us can only dream of.
That’s true for geniuses like Mozart, Picasso or Matisse, but I learned that it’s still possible to become creative through a combination of hard work, open-mindedness, and experimentation.
A little rigor helps too.
That’s what Professor Michael A. Roberto told me.
He teaches leadership, business strategy and managerial decision-making at Bryant University in Rhode Island as well as for The Great Courses.
He’s also the author of several best-selling books.
In his latest work, Unlocking Creativity, Roberto proposes six mindsets that can help entrepreneurs and business leaders spark creative thinking.
