Creative Thinking Vs. Divergent Thinking
For me, when someone is able to think and come out with something different it is defined as Creative thinking. There are two types of thinking: Divergent and Convergent thinking. Divergent thinking is someone who is able to brainstorms as much ideas as possible, considering others possibility and ask for opinions from others. Furthermore they seek references form other resources to build up on their ideas. They think out the box and have a wider perspective of view. Whereas, Convergent thinking focuses just on the main idea only and come out with a few possibilities. So I personally feel that divergent thinking is the best way to build rapport and camaraderie with one another and also an effective way to solve our task effectively and efficiently.
Through divergent thinking, ideas are build and brainstorm together as a group, effective communication skills are practice and everyone feels involved.
