Type practitioners know that to be at their best, people need both to express and reflect. So, they are able to moderate idea generating sessions to include experiences in both the extraverting and introverting world. They let participants know beforehand what the topic for the idea generating is, and ask them to jot some ideas down prior to the session. Then, once the idea generating begins, they ask people to report their initial ideas and allow for expression through dialogue and further brainstorming to emerge. Organizational culture tacitly supports using criteria for Thinking function decision-making and ignores priorities so valuable to Feeling function evaluation.
Creativity is defined as the capacity for initiating change.
To initiate creative change facilitators must help their teams make different decisions. Using Feeling function concerns of harmony, values, and empathy may just be the shift in thinking that promotes true and meaningful change. Assessing the climate for creativity and change.
