criticism"Most people are not happy with criticism and, to make matters worse, are somewhat unsure of the quality of their own ideas. They therefore require a supportive environment in which to work." questioning"One of the most important capabilities in a creative person is a questioning attitude...necessary in the broadest sense to motivate conceptualization. If you accept the status quo unquestioningly, you will have no reason to innovate. You will not be able to see needs and problems, and problem-sensitivity is one of the more important qualities of the creative person. Once the problem is sensed, the questioning attitude must be used continually to ensure a creative solution. A creative person should have a healthy skepticism about existing answers, techniques, and approaches." (p. 104) |
