Week 4 Reading Reflection

1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? 
I found it surprising that there was actually a formula for success, despite what I have been told all my life. The formula told is: Creative thinking + systematic analysis= success.

2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you. 
I was confused when the book stated that innovation requires being action oriented. I believe that you could be innovative when starting from scratch and just experimenting from the parts given to you, not necessarily to reach a goal.

3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
What exactly constitutes a milestone schedule and can you elaborate more? How can one define what they deem as “heroic activity” and how can they be rewarded?


4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How? 
I disagree with the way the book defined creativity. They stated that that creativity has two aspects, one being “process” and one being “people”. They described “process” as goal oriented. However, I believe that creativity does not have to be goal driven. Sometimes you find answers to other questions through trial and error, not necessarily the answer to your own question.
