ShayLynne Clark, one very motivated 22-year-old student from Weber State University, has spent her university time exploring the topic of creativity in group settings. Her valued conclusion: Creativity in groups suffers with overbearing central leadership, but flourishes with an empowering moderator, one who encourages creative input from all members of the group.
OGDEN — ShayLynne Clark plans to graduate from Weber State University in May and head to medical school this fall. And for her four years of hard work, she will take with her three bachelor’s degrees, in anthropology, microbiology and interdisciplinary studies with an emphasis on chemistry.
She’ll also take with her the strong belief, backed by her own research, that people who work together productively as a group can solve problems a lot more creatively than they could in groups with overbearing leaders.
