In a research team comprising a mix of senior experts and young enthusiasts(members) if it is about creativity, who will contribute more as far as creativity is concerned. and Why ?
for e.g.
Runco in his research paper titled "Conflict and creativity" said that experienced and expert seniors may be more defensive to their own work and may not contribute new solutions ,.
(19) Conflict and Creativity | Request PDF (researchgate.net)
what are your views? please do contribute.
senior researchers naturally gravitate to what has worked in the past, using tried and true methods. However, whenever a group is working together on any project they will go through the steps of team formation: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. It is of critical importance that ground rules are agreed upon and used through the process to allow younger and/or researchers with a more creative approach to have their ideas also validated. This suggests diversity of thought. It has been proven time and time again, that the more diversity among a team, the better the results. This can also contribute to the building of long term successful relationships that again, will continue to encourage creativity and unique solutions.
