In my classes on creativity and business, I've called that "coloring outside the lines", "thinking outside the box", "juxtaposing the familiar with unfamiliar information" etc. <BR/><BR/>Right brains love divergent exploration of possibilities. That makes you "right on!"Tom Haskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658791778134826289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117005533318160902.post-85456688887942326142008-02-14T07:42:00.000-07:002008-02-14T07:42:00.000-07:00For me, it comes down to stretching myself.

Unlike the positional stances being taken over MBA's and liberal arts degrees, I suspect a global mind would see how the two have much in common, providing nuances of one thing and are missing much of the same qualities. I wonder if the debate, as it applies to philanthropy, would not be better reconvened on ways that practitioners are informed by both academic pursuits, and ways the academic disciplines need to be overcome or outgrown to be effective in fund raising, donor relations and the like.Tom Haskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658791778134826289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117005533318160902.post-43008522198116943002008-02-13T09:16:00.000-07:002008-02-13T09:16:00.000-07:00The lost art of the renaissance man mentality?We'r...The lost art of the renaissance man mentality?<BR/><BR/>We're having a related debate over the merits of a liberal vs business education at Phil Cubeta's blog here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.gifthub.org/2008/02/the-commanding.htmlJ.
