Out of the box

Marie Callas - being creativeThere is this creativity talk on the job. What is it? Experts say creative people are people who can come out with IDEAS..faster than anyone. It doesn't matter what kind of ideas, its how fast these good and bad ideas were churned out fast! The point is, some where will come a brilliant idea to solve the problem on the table. And in a more cost effective and better way.

I feel that if you are able to do that, then you will be a valuable asset to the organisation, as you can the one who comes out with ideas that could make the "gears" tick and move smoothly - a leading light. There are always problems on hand, and in the fast economy, that calls for someone with quick brains and composure. This quality alone can set you apart from another employee and make you more valuable to that employer.

Who does not have problems to solve at any kind of job they may be on?

I feel that thinking out of the box is something that can be learned. The sad thing is that this country needs many of such people in the top leading tier to progress. We are doing fine, but need something extra to jump to the "premier league" of asian countries.

That is why, drastic changes have to be made. Hope they know.
