      Multitud de individuos en uno solo, en cuanto a tendencias que muestran, a la hora de pensar y actuar. A continuación. se muestran los 10 rasgos mas característicos (según el autor), integrados en un solo individuo, y en continua tensión dialéctica entre ellos.
  • a "multitude."
  • dialectical tension
  • 1. Creative people have a great deal of physical energy, but they're also often quiet and at rest.

  • enthusiasm
  • freshness
  • It seems that their energy is internally generated, due more to their focused minds than to the superiority of their genes.

      Vitalidad que parece proceder de su interios, mas que de su naturaleza física, como resultado de la 'focalización' de su mente.
  • They consider the rhythm of activity followed by idleness or reflection very important for the success of their work
  • 2. Creative people tend to be smart yet naive at the same time.

      Pensamiento convergente vs divergente. El primero, se mide por los tests de 'coeficiente intelectual' (resolución de problemas racionales, bien definidos y con una solución correcta). Al parecer, la creatividad pudiera requerir un cierto coeficiente intelectual (120), pero por encima del mismo, no necesariamente se es mas creativo. El pensamiento divergente conduce a soluciones resultado de 'acuerdos' (implica fluidez o capacidad para generar gran cantidad de ideas; flexibilidad o capacidad para conmutar de una perspectiva a otra; y originalidad a la hora de proponer asociaciones de ideas). Concluye que, en cualquier caso, el pensamiento divergente requiere, para que sea creativo, del pensamiento convergente, también.
  • the cutoff point is around 120
  • children with very high IQs do well in life, but after a certain point IQ does not seem to be correlated any longer with superior performance in real life.
  • n IQ beyond 120 does not necessarily imply higher creativity
  • to use well two opposite ways of thinking: the convergent and the divergent.
  • Convergent thinking is measured by IQ tests
  • Divergent thinking leads to no agreed-upon solution
  • People often claimed to have had only two or three good ideas in their entire career, but each idea was so generative that it kept them busy for a lifetime of testing, filling out, elaborating, and applying.
  • Divergent thinking
  • involves convergent thinking
  • 3. Creative people combine playfulness and discipline, or responsibility and irresponsibility.

      Las personas creativas son humildes y orgullosas al mismo tiempo.
  • in current psychological research, extroversion and introversion are considered the most stable personality traits that differentiate people from each other and that can be reliably measured
  • Creative individuals, on the other hand, seem to exhibit both traits simultaneously
  • At the same time, they know that in comparison with others, they have accomplished a great deal. And this knowledge provides a sense of security, even pride.
  • in Newton's words, "on the shoulders of giants."
  • 7. Creative people, to an extent, escape rigid gender role stereotyping.
  • androgyny is sometimes understood in purely sexual terms, and therefore it gets confused with homosexuality
  • But psychological androgyny is a much wider concept referring to a person's ability to be at the same time aggressive and nurturant, sensitive and rigid, dominant and submissive, regardless of gender.
  • 8. Creative people are both rebellious and conservative.
  • It is impossible to be creative without having first internalized an area of culture
  • 9. Most creative people are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well.
  • 10. Creative people's openness and sensitivity often exposes them to suffering and pain, yet also to a great deal of enjoyment
  • A negative impulse is always frustrating
  • Without the passion, we soon lose interest in a difficult task
  • From book: Creativity: The Work and Lives of 91 Eminent People, by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, published by HarperCollins, 1996. Retitled as Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention.

  • Horizontal networking often creates dissonance in the vertical enterpriseThe vertical structure of knowledge did not foresee the coming of horizontal networking tools now shaping today’s workplace.
  • Today, there's a lot of chatter about bottom-up versus top-down, the collective wisdom of the organizational crowd, and various related themes.  However, there’s also ongoing dissonance or competition between the methods behind structured and defined organizational forms and activity and the growing world of hyperlinked flows in which knowledge and meaning are built layer by layer, exchange by exchange (all those hyperlinked interactions that increasingly make up what we call "knowledge work") as enabled by social computing.
  • At the heart of the issue is the way work is designed and an organization develops its structure
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • A primary tool in designing work and structure is job evaluation
  • (and derivatives like accountability mapping and redundancy analysis).  And I don’t mean job evaluation as in assessing job performance – I mean the function that assigns jobs to levels and pay grades based on job “weight” with respect to skill, effort, responsibility and working conditions (the legal criteria for assessing pay equity). I believe that these tools and their underlying assumptions are used to create the skeletal architecture of organizations, the pyramid we all know. 
  • job evaluation (or work measurement in the professional jargon) relies very heavily on the assumption that knowledge is hierarchically structured and, as well, put to use.
  • who has more of the knowledge —on paper—is she or he who deserves to be "higher up" in the organization.
