Highlight from 'Creative Intelligence' by Greg Storey

a lot of professionals operate in a single cognitive gear: convergent thinking. They jump immediately to solutions, rush toward decisions, and mistake speed for intelligence. They've been trained by decades of quarterly reviews and daily standups to believe that having an answer—any answer—is better than exploring the problem space. This isn't intelligence. It's algorithmic behavior. And it's exactly why companies are finding it so easy to replace middle management with AI systems. If you only know how to converge, you're just a slower, more expensive algorithm.
