Those who prefer to stick to traditional methods and follow rules are known to be non-creative.
They are more likely to be organised and methodical in their approach. Non-creative individuals often have a logical mindset and can think logically about a problem. While they may not be quick to embrace new ideas or take risks, their dependability and consistency are highly valuable in a business setting.
A person with a non-creative mindset is more likely to be resistant to change and criticism.

“There’s two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down. You got your talkers and you got your doers. Most people are just talkers, all they do is talk. But when it is all said and done, it’s the doers that change this world. And when they do that, they change us, and that’s why we never forget them. So which one are you? Do you just talk about it, or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me, all the rest of it is just coffee house bullshit.”
