Kreatywność jest postrzegana jako "przeważająca kompetencja". Dlatego też wyróżnia się na tle mniej udanego przywództwa wojskowego. Jakość przywódcy jest tak ważna, że stanowi jeden z filarów w Austriackich Siłach Zbrojnych. Wszechstronność umysłowa przekłada się na bycie elastycznym w myśleniu i manewrze oraz elastyczność w działaniu. Aby zwiększyć szanse na osiągnięcie niezwykle twórczych wyników, istnieje kilka sposobów, które można wykorzystać zarówno podczas szkolenia wojskowego, jak również w trakcie realizacji procesu podejmowania decyzji. Ten artykuł koncentruje się na zmiennościach bodźców, zmianie poziomu odniesienia, zmianie asocjacji, zmianie stanu emocjonalnego, zmniejszeniu skupienia i wagi. Łącząc te aspekty z etapami procesu decyzyjnego, można znaleźć nowe podejście zarówno do czynności życia codziennego, jak i szkolenia tak, aby osiągać lepsze wyniki.

Creativity is seen as the "basis of competitive advantage". Therefore it also is distinguishes the more from the less successful military leader. This quality of leaders is so important that it is one of the Austrian Armed Forces Leadership Principles: flexibility (in mind and manoeuvre) – being flexible in thought and action, to be mentally versatile. To increase the chances for extraordinary creative outcomes there are several aspects, which can be used in the DMP, in military training as well as in leadership. This article focuses on stimulus variation, reference level variation, association variation, emotional state variation, reduced and focused attention. By linking these aspects with steps of the decision making process, training and leadership new approaches in the daily business can be found and better achievements reached.
