Jane Rae-Dupree's article for The New York Times (registration required), Let Computers Compute. It's the Age of the Right Brain describes the power of the right brain and how thinking like an artist can change your business.
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is a class that teaches people how to think like an artist and has become a popular workshop for business people. Dr. Betty Edwards, the author of the book by the same name as the workshop, said she wrote the book to help others see like an artist, "My main task in writing the drawing book was to dig down underneath everything I knew about art and drawing to try to find the most fundamental level of thinking that goes on in drawing."
I believe that practicing some form of art (painting, music, screenwriting) helps you think like an artist and provides a unique business perspective. A perspective that can help elevate your business game.
