Idea people are creative problem solvers. They are the ones determining ways to fit square pegs into round holes.

In fact, each year employers are seeking more and more idea people to fill a creative void.
An idea person is typically defined as someone who simply comes up with the good ideas. While everyone else is working on a current issue, idea people are on to solving the next.
