DISCUSSION

2.1 Process Creativity
      Creativity can be enhanced by understanding that the creative process consists of four stages, each of which requires hard work.

1. Preparation: the process of gathering information, analyzing and exploring solutions. This step includes preparation is reasonable to think creatively prepared, formal training, on the job training, work experience and take the opportunity to learn more. This training provides a basic way to build creativity and innovation.

2. Incubation: The subconscious need time to reflect information collected
3. Lighting: inspiration does not come when someone is thinking about a problem, but when she is in a relaxed state. This phase in the creative process occurs during the incubation phase when causing a spontaneous breakthrough is getting an enlightenment
4. Verify: For entrepreneurs, test ideas ensure accuracy and benefits, run the experiment, run simulations, test marketing of products or services, set the wizard on a small scale, making prototypes and many other activities that are designed to verify that new ideas can be successfully applied and practical.

2.2 Constraints Hinder Creativity
Here below are some things that impede the course of creativity:
1. Barriers perception of the barriers that make it difficult man perceives the problem or capture relevant information. Several types of creativity barriers are:
a. Mindset Stereotypes
Suppose you're aboard an airplane that forced an emergency landing in a desert. As the only penumpangyang congratulations, you have to use what you have to survive until the rescue team arrived. Near you there is a flashlight By stereotype, a flashlight is a tool to illuminate, to find something in the dark, or to give a signal.
Actually flashlight can also be used more than the stereotyped. The battery is used to make a fire the slug can be used to hold drinking water, reflector can be used to make the signal SOS (help) at noon, and so on. Stereotiping ignore pandanga you make it creative.
2. Barriers Emotions can disrupt a person's ability to solve problems through various means some kind of creativity barriers belonging to the emotional barriers and the following examples:
a. Afraid to take risks
These barriers are rooted in cultural experience where children are always given a gift that is able to solve problems correctly, but instead punished when making mistakes. Because it was not given the opportunity to make mistakes, a lot of people are afraid of the wrong and ultimately afraid to take risks, Remember, in this world there are two kinds of errors, the errors are stupid and clever mistakes. Columbus has ever made a mistake, when he landed in India one that turned out he just landed in the South American continent. But if he never strayed (made a mistake), humans will never sailed the globe.
b. Facing bold uncertainty
To be krpatif, spsporang need to learn to deal with the lack of certainty or disappointed (chaos). This means that we must dare to move from the comfort zone into a new zone. Keep in mind that an entrepreneur there because there are people who want to sail the ocean of uncertainty.
c. Generate More Than Love Assessing New Gadasan
These barriers arise when a person being negative. There are many people who are always negative terhada any more skillfully so that he became a critic of the entrepreneurs or innovators. This attitude is very detrimental. Because when the assessment is carried out too early, it will be a lot of great ideas were rejected.
d. Less Challenge
Sometimes we are lazy to start a business because it looked trivial. The problems that exist are considered too trivial to be considered in depth. Everything that makes us less trivial deemed to have a challenge that does not move.
e. In A Hurry
Attitudes in a hurry to resolve the issue could create obstacles. To be creative often we need to rethink the incubation stage issues in more depth in a quieter.
3. Cultural Barriers may affect a person if he faced a set of cultural patterns in the environment. One type is the most common cultural barriers are afraid to be different from others, or fear taking action / forward ideas that will probably be considered controversial.
4. Environmental Constraints is a broader cultural barriers. Company's organizational climate or culture may be inhibiting or stimulating creativity organizations / companies which may seek an environment conducive to creativity. Organizational elements of the values ​​dianitmanajer, subordinates, members of the group, customers, and competitors can also inhibit or stimulate creativity. Some elements inhibitors for example:
a. There is no co-operation and mutual trust between work teams
b. Tops be authoritarian, not respect other people's opinions
c. Disruption of routine, eg telephone, living uninterruptedly, boisterous workspace
d. Lack of support for the idea ripen
e. Togetherness culture (solidarity) or anti-competitive

5. Barriers Intellectual usually caused by a mental attitude that is not efficient or reluctance to use new approaches, for example:
a. Very strong tendency to maintain the tradition, using methods or ways that never proven effective
b. Relying on logic
c. Reluctant to use intuition
d. Relying too much on statistics and past experiences, so that new ideas too quickly tested mentally.

2.3 Develop Creativity
In order for someone to be creative can perform the following steps:
1. Think outside the framework of the problem
May be open to observation and new thinking, though it may appear strange at first. We tend to see what we were expecting, but if we want to open our minds above the reasonable limits we'll be more observant, objective, and creative in our minds. Can be considered a starting point and perspectives when seeking solutions can be very inspiring. Approach the problem from a different angle can encourage the emergence of new ideas. Creative thinking can be a new adventure that raises a very valuable experience.
2. Recognize when the assumptions to be made and the time should not use assumptions.
Do not assume all of which we assume is true. Do not forward the perceptions or ideas held before obtaining actual knowledge. Assumptions and perceptions are often unreasonable and can be misleading, as well as the major obstacle to be able to think creatively.
3. Think insular and expand the field of vision (to draw on the experience of other individuals and businesses).
It's easy if only thinking in a scope when you are faced with a problem, but if you expand your parameters, the answer appears may be closer than you think. Technologies and practices in industries other than myself might trigger an idea, which leads to the solution. The experience can broaden your horizons and open up all sorts of new avenues for thought.
4. Develop and adjust the ideas of more than one source.
As humans we can not make assumptions or decisions something out of nothing, thought we needed something material or for working capital, so we combine the ideas and elements that already exist to create new ideas and new products. Creative thinking can see the possibilities, and relations between the various ideas that are not thought of before.
5. Practice Serendipity (find a valuable information inadvertently when looking for something else) has the attention span and a wide range of interests is important.
When we engage in a problem-solving process we tend to focus only on the issue but we should always be open and aware of things that come unexpectedly. What might seem irrelevant at first and then it could be something significant if we think creatively. This may take some time, which makes creative thinkers must retain a lot of information and experience as much as possible. This experience that may be a trigger for creative thinking that might be the only one who can solve difficult problems.
6. "Technology Transfer" from one field to another.
Keeping an open mind when confronted with a problem and look beyond your own situation. Often other departments, organizations and industries can provide inspiration to develop ideas to address the challenges. The most successful creative minds have knowledge of more than one field and often make their names appear in several different fields of which they control.
7. Be open and ready to use the opportunities or unexpected things and events that are useful.
Has a broad focus and develop the power of experience to take advantage of the opportunity that you have encountered in your life. Using your experience to interpret these things as something useful without prejudice. You may have to invest a lot of time to open ourselves to the experience but they will give you a good reference base for future creativity.
8. Exploring the thought process and the main elements of the mind at work to analyze, assess, and synthesize.
Creative thinking can not be divided into a process or a particular system. The nature of creativity can mean a regular process. However, usually begins by analyzing a problem and then play it by restructuring. (Synthesise). Next we set it up to use our imagination and the judge thought that we connect into a solution that allows.
9. use it into the subconscious mind
Sleep is one way to allow their ideas to be generated. Dreaming makes you feel totally free and not felt at the time of the normal state. Although this in not giving the right answer but can awake to direct your mind in the right direction. You must record your dreams as soon as you wake up so they are not lost. The brain is able to analyze the information that you yourself may not be aware of it. By turning off your conscious mind, you let your mind deep to start analyzing, assessing, and synthesize knowledge in your heart. You can not control the kind of inspiration but you must remain vigilant and hopeful, so you can know when it shows itself.
10. Take note of the ideas or thoughts that have been found
Having a notebook is a good way as the recording material for your future use. Make a note of the conversation (real or on TV or radio), excerpts from books and articles or observations or thoughts. Your instincts will tell you what that might be relevant for future problem solving and creative thinking. Does not need too systematic like when you look back through your notes, you will create a bond between points that are not visible.
11. Using the analogy (to improve imaginative thinking).
Nature has a lot to answer for our problems. We have the challenge of realizing them and apply what we find with our personal situation. Other models can be found in existing products and organization, but we should be mindful not to copy directly because it can cause more problems. We must keep an open mind and a very observant when looking at our environment and use what we see to our advantage.
12. Try to occasionally make a strangeness to spark new ideas. Creative thinking is looking for something new. Sometimes something new can be found in the strangeness. By making oddities you begin to see differently and this can cause a lot of creative thinking and vice versa. By becoming more familiar to the strangeness will make you to explore new avenues that you may not be aware of its existence. Both of these processes can lead to creative minds to new ideas.

2.4 Decision-Making and Creative Thinkers
Decision-making is dominated by all the attributes of successful creative thinkers. Many effective decisions to be made during the creative process. Creative thinkers and decision makers skilled in analyzing, synthesizing and assessing. He knows when and how to use the deep mind and he is sensitive to the intuitive mind.
Imagination can help to find new ways to approach situations and problems. He is always open to new ideas, even if they come through the analogy that span of time sufficiently broad relevance. He has enough self-awareness to know that someone else may have specialized knowledge that is greater than him, and he can consult with it in finding solutions as well as facts. To make an effective decision-making process that should be followed sixth namely:
1. Determine the purpose.
2. Gather sufficient information.
3. Identify option.
4. To evaluate the options.
5. Making decisions, choose the option to follow.
6. Test the application.
Three skills needed by a decision maker and effective creative thinkers are:
1. Analyze.
2. synthesise.
3. Assess.
Effective decision as a result of thinking something in using the important elements:
1. Establish the facts.

      has better strength or the knowledge and combining it with their own ideas.
Never make false assumptions or jump to conclusions. Do not be susceptible to wrong thinking or not to listen to others. Always operate in order to face the reality and the search and spoke the truth. The decision-makers do not always choose the optimal solution because they are affected by emotions, power, politics, influence others and on their own values. Often the decision is a compromise between different courses of action, as one that: agree to some extent with one's personal interests, needs or values ​​meet the standard values ​​to be accepted by their superiors who are affected (by the decision and to implement it) looks it makes sense to have an element of self-justification qualify if everything goes wrong.
       The obvious approach to decision-making should be removed from your approach. Managers need to be prepared to take the time to think creatively about the decision - to devote quality time to the crucial area of ​​activity, because the thought behind the solution is as important as the action itself.

CLOSING

3.1 Conclusion
      From the description above discussion it can be concluded that creative thinking is a way of thinking in which someone trying to find new relationships to obtain new answers to problems. In creative thinking, a person is required to be able to obtain more than one answer to a problem, and for that we need the imagination. The analytical thinking is thinking otherwise use a logical approach toward the single answer. Actually, in the face of problems we need both kinds of thinking, the logical-analytical thinking and creative thinking. Logical-analytical thinking often called convergent thinking, because this way of thinking tends to constrict and leading to a single answer.
Meanwhile, creative thinking is often referred to as divergent thinking, because here the mind is encouraged to spread far and wide in search for new ideas. In the creative thinking processes occurring a few turns through certain stages. An idea can not suddenly appear in our minds. The ideas came after various kinds of symbols processed in our subconscious. So it can be said that the occurrence of creative thinking, inevitably will pass through several stages.

3.2 Suggestions
      Preferably someone should try and want to try to do something that will be useful. Each person must be willing to take the risk of doing nothing. In doing something should go through stages. Never assume that severe obstacles because every obstacle there must be a way out. Laugh heard the idea or ideas but do not laugh at people.
