What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

ANSWER: Student answers will vary, depending on which arenas chosen; but any of the following can be mentioned:
•Idea creativity: Thinking up a new idea or concept, such as an idea for a new product or service or a way to solve a problem.
•Material creativity: Inventing and building a tangible object such as a product, an advertisement, a report, or a photograph.
•Organization creativity: Organizing people or projects and coming up with a new organizational form or approach to structuring things. Examples could include organizing a project, starting a new type of venture, putting together or reorganizing a work group, and changing the policies and rules of a group.
•Relationship creativity: An innovative approach to achieving collaboration, cooperation, and win–win relationships with others. The person who handles a difficult situation well or deals with a particular person in an especially effective manner is being creative in a relationship or one-on-one context.
•Event creativity: Producing an event such as an awards ceremony, team outing, or annual meeting. The creativity here also encompasses decor, ways in which people are involved, sequence of happenings, setting, and so forth.
•Inner creativity: Changing one's inner self; being open to new approaches to how one does things; and achieving a change of heart.
•Spontaneous creativity: Acting in a spontaneous or spur-of-the-moment manner, such as coming up with a witty response in a meeting, an off-the-cuff speech, a quick and simple way to settle a dispute, or an innovative appeal when trying to close a sale.
