Study Notes

Deliberate and Emotional Creativity

Originates from quiet reflection and internal contemplation.
Characterized by "a-ha" moments that appear spontaneous but stem from deep thinking and questioning.
Relies on the cingulate cortex, linking emotions to the prefrontal cortex (PFC).
Essential to allow time for thought, especially post-adverse events, aiding personal reflection and understanding.

Isaac Newton's Contribution

Renowned scientist (1643-1727) who fundamentally impacted physics and mathematics.
Formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, reshaping our comprehension of the physical universe.
Famous for conceptualizing the Theory of Universal Gravitation through the metaphor of a falling apple, linking gravity to both earthly and lunar movements.

Spontaneous and Emotional Creativity

Often perceived as an innate ability, commonly seen in artists and performers.
Exemplified by figures like Mozart, Baudelaire, and Eminem, who experience intense, epiphany-like creative bursts.
Difficult to cultivate deliberately; requires skill and a supportive environment for team members to explore creative ideas.

Harnessing Team Creativity

Encourage ideation through brainstorming and open discussions.
Promote regular collaboration to facilitate idea exchange.
Emphasize learning from peers to enhance creativity.
Establish routines that foster ongoing creative practices.
Recognize individual creative styles and strengths within the team.
Create dedicated spaces for inspiration and creativity.
Share resources and knowledge to support creative endeavors.
