Creativity and problem solving are the most crucial leadership skills for success in the 21st century. Like many things human, however, creativity and problem solving are not easily or consistently defined. In creative thinking we work to generate as many as unique ideas to solve a problem.

But what according to you is thinking out of the box? Is it knowing that we are in a box and then consciously breaking that box to think differently? What happens in those situations?

Aren't we sometimes prisoners of our own habits and comfort zone? We seldom challenge our thought process and long held beliefs. And this is exactly what is required to think out of the box.
