15 Widespread Creativity Myth
1. Creative people are weird – Everyone is creative in their own way does that make everyone weird?
2. Putting bunch of people in together in a large room will produce creative ideas - Creativity isn’t a
pattern, and you definitely can’t artificially create it in a meeting room. It’s not that some meetings can be very good in terms of brainstorming ideas; it’s just that most businesses don’t really know how to have a productive brainstorming session.
3. Only creative people have creative ideas - All anyone needs for a killer idea is to satisfy their own need or a problem. Innovation is usually born from a need, not “creative thinking’’.
4. Deadlines spark creativity - whenever anything is squeezed out of a person, the result is usually crappy (pun intended). You just can’t force creativity.While deadlines can be good for finding simple solutions and just getting a project done, you can’t impose creative thinking on someone.
5. Competition is better than collaboration - Collaboration gives an extra something to even the best ideas. Without it, the idea is limited to just one perspective could have been helped along by a couple more great minds.
6. Creatives are Messy - Anyone can be messy and unorganized.
7. Structure is bad for creative thinking - Structure gives you the opportunity to think outside the box, because without structure there is no box!
8. An idea Will come in one sitting - One never knows when an idea will happen, and odds are it will be at the worst time. That’s why you have to capture them when you have the chance.
9. Creativity requires high-level thinking - You don’t always need Einstein’s chalkboard and quantum physics to have a great idea.
10. The only motivator for creative thinking is money and fear - True motivation can never come from either of these sources. Like we stated earlier, you can’t force creativity, but you can encourage it.
11. Ridiculous ideas are worthless - Some of the most ridiculous ideas end up being some of the best creations we’ve ever seen. You can’t afford to discount anything when it comes to ideas. Ridiculous ideas aren’t worthless… you just never know which ones are going to take off.
12. Only certain jobs use creativity – Every job require creativity.
13. Creative people always have great ideas - creative people only have a few great ideas out of a barrel-full.
14. I’ll never forget my ideas - ideas sometimes come at the worst possible times, we can’t rely on our brains to hang on to these ideas.
15. More and better technology will yield more and better ideas - technology doesn’t help with creativity, it actually hinders it.
