"Managers tend to deal with problems in one of three ways:

1. Avoid them - refuse to recognize that a problem exists

2. Solve them as necessary - deal with the urgent

3. Seek them out - anticipate to avoid them becoming urgent

Managers tend to one of two basic problem-solving styles: systematic or
intuitive. Systematic thinkers are logical and rational. They prefer
narrow and focused problems, step by step processes, rules to be
followed, and computer programs that grind to a recommendation. Intuitive
thinkers are more comfortable with solutions that just "came to" them.
Compared with systematic thinkers, for the intuitive thinker, data are
less important, complexity is less bothersome, changing external and
internal environments are expected rather than assumed away, and being
more or less right is more important than being precisely wrong."

WHY CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING?
<http://www.unc.edu/~gdhughes/stct.htm>

Creative Problem Solving:
<http://www.teachersnetwork.org/NTNY/lessonplans/lawrence.htm>
"Using the 5 W's (Who, What, Where, When, Why)
Standards:  In discussing their readings, third graders will be able to:

Talk about the authors choice of words, meanings, and plot.

Refer to both their own prior knowledge and to relevant information
garnered during the discussions to explain, support, and justify their
ideas.

The children will respond to literature by making connections to their own
lives. While students will be able to identify characteristics of fantasy,
they will also reference that literature in making comparisons to real
life situations."
