			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-285" title="einstein" src="http://lean-mentor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/einstein.jpg" alt="einstein" width="126" height="145" />Times are hard (as we are constantly being reminded by the media at the moment). We need to use all the resources we can get hold of to have a chance of moving forward. How about <em>Creative Thinking</em> – now that’s a big subject! And what can this possibly mean in the context of leadership?   -  new ideas and new opportunities. Learning to think creatively means that there is always a possibility open to us, by solving problems, exploring opportunities, making decisions, prioritising and designing a new way for something.</p>
<p>One of the greatest creative thinkers ever – Einstein – made a profound statement that “you cannot solve a problem with the same thinking that caused the problem in the first place”. So, how do you <em>shift your current thinking patterns</em> and become more creative in your approach ? Experienced Leadership Coach and Lean Expert Mike Denison can show you how, through simple techniques, you can break old thinking habits and develop a creative approach to successful leadership.To find out more contact Mike at <a href="mailto:info@lean-mentor.co.uk">info@lean-mentor.co.uk</a></p>
