Here I will compare and contrast the four creative intelligence styles and their influence on organizational decision making. I will discuss the five influences on mental models/mental sets and include and explain examples of how these are commonly used to guide my decision making at work and how these models influence my decision making at work. What is creative thinking? Creative thinking is; the process used when coming up with a new idea. It can be accidental or intentional (Creative Thinking, n.d.). This implies intuitions, synthesis and the ability to react to new situations and stimuli. This he considers to be the experiential aspect of intelligence and reflects how an individual connects the internal world to external reality (Sternberg's, 2004). Creativity is a talent that we all possess. It consists of a set of skills that can be learned, developed and used. An individual can think creatively in any situation. People's creative ability depends a lot on self-confidence, and you can influence your brain to be more creative. Creativity involves looking beyond the boundaries of our normal thinking. It is the ability to keep an open mind and see new perspectives and to generate and/or develop different ideas (Naiman, 2007). It also includes conscious efforts to see things differently, to break out of outdated habits and beliefs to find new ways of thinking, doing and being. Creativity is a natural and normal aspect of healthy human beings. What matters is whether the novelty he or she produces is accepted to solve a problem. Research shows that anyone of normal intelligence is capable of doing some degree of creative work. Creativity depends on a number of things: experience, including technical knowledge and skills; talent; the ability to think in new ways; and the ability to overcome uncreative dry spells (Kelly, 2004). Everyday expression of creativity often takes the form of trying a new approach to a familiar problem. People create things and ideas every day. People often create worries and negative imaginations, images of things that will never happen. These concerns provide a diversion from the harsh reality that exists in some companies. These worries, and the stress of trying to function in a hostile environment, deplete creativity that could be channeled into positive forms (Unlocking Natural Creativity - Everyone's Creative!, 2008). Everyone is capable of having a creative spirit. It doesn't just mean having better ideas; but a sort of general awareness that leads individuals to enjoy their work and the people in their lives more: a spirit that can improve collaboration and communication with others.
