"Creative potential is best described as including capacity for creative thinking and the drive for creativity. In other words, the potential means being able to think in original ways and being motivated to do so."
"The drive for creativity is based on intrinsic interest, our perceived value of creativity, and our confidence that we can be creative. Intrinsic interest means wanting to tackle new and complex problems, being curious, preferring to figure out things for oneself, and enjoying this process."
"Creative thinking is called for when we are facing open-ended problems which cannot be addressed by following a precise step-by-step process. Scientists have devised tests that can assess how people think when multiple answers are possible."
"Small actions-inviting ideas, exploring multiple options, and allowing change-help build creative potential."
Creative potential encompasses the capacity for original thinking and the motivation to engage in creative processes. It develops through knowledge and experience, which serve as the foundation for new ideas. Implicit learning fosters the drive for creativity, while small actions such as inviting ideas and exploring multiple options enhance creative potential. Although not everyone has created new products, everyone can cultivate their creative abilities by nurturing their intrinsic interest and confidence in their creativity.
