Creative thinking begins with the generation of ideas. If you are to have the broadest perspective on a situation, at some point you will need to consider the different viewpoints of all the people involved.

The skill of deliberately shifting your point of view to accommodate those of others will allow you to create a more complete list of the factors, consequences and options involved.

In the phase of generating ideas, right-brain functions are most helpful. Have you ever struggled to solve a problem and found the answer “popped” into your head while you were out shopping or jogging or when you woke up the next day. That is because it was released from left-brain control and turned over to your right-brain insight.
