Tackling Problems through Lateral Thinking. An Interview with Edward de Bono.

Brodinsky, Ben

School Administrator, v42 n3 p10-13 Mar 1985

In this interview, Edward de Bono says critical or logical thinking in lockstep fashion is necessary but not sufficient because we need not only the ability to critique ideas, but to create them. Creative or lateral thinking arrives at solutions by attacking problems "laterally" or "sideways." (DCS)
