Creative Problem Solving Quotes

“Negotiation is less about winning arguments and more about finding the wisdom in every perspective." "In negotiation, the smallest gestures of respect can pave the way for the greatest agreements." "The strength of a negotiator lies in their ability to turn conflict into collaboration." "Every negotiation should aim to build bridges that outlast the deals made upon them." "A skilled negotiator knows when to be firm and when to yield, understanding both are part of progress." "Negotiation thrives on curiosity—it's the willingness to explore options beyond the obvious." "To negotiate well is to understand that compromise is not about losing, but about mutual gain." "The true art of negotiation is finding a path where everyone’s needs are met, even if the routes are different." "Negotiation is a dance of give and take, where rhythm matters as much as the steps." "The most effective negotiators are those who see through positions to the interests that lie beneath.”

“In early 2021 I formulated a concept that I dubbed "theoretical creativity." If "applied creativity" is the coin's obverse, then "theoretical creativity" is the reverse side of that same coin. Similar to the oppositional relationship between applied physics and theoretical physics, where the former is rooted in the basic concepts of physical sciences and the intersection of known principles of practical devices and systems (e.g., engineering, technology, etc.) and the latter, in stark contrast, employs hypothetical models and abstractions to predict natural phenomena and behavior rather than the study of extant knowledge and its application, applied creativity and theoretical creativity are diametric. Borrowing from the definition of theoretical physics, theoretical creativity must also employ hypothetical concepts and abstractions rather than any existing knowledge, understanding, or experience.”

“...as I just suggested, yes, even unethical and illegal ideas need to be considered. Remember, it was not that long ago that doctors appeared in advertising for cigarettes, Coca-Cola actually put cocaine in their beverages, and most banks refused to issue credit cards to women. Laws change and ethics evolve.”

“It is my assertion that divergent thinking is infinite. The primary reasoning in support of my position can be explained when one considers the function of convergent thinking: to identify a single, well-defined solution (or a finite set of solutions) to a question, problem, or challenge. Therefore, if convergent thinking and divergent thinking work in opposition, then the latter must be infinite.”
