There are only so many ways you can solve a problem when you are unwilling to consider unorthodox solutions. You limit yourself and your opportunities by doing so.

Some companies offer benefits and perks that attract and retain better employees. By thinking outside the box with their company culture, they ultimately get a better caliber of employee and work, which makes it well worth the expenditure they put out with these offerings

Thinking outside the box can expand your worldview, allowing you to have a greater perspective on the events in your life. When you’re willing to consider alternative ways and points of view, you can find more potential solutions.

When you are able to approach your business and career from an out-of-the-box point of view, you are in essence allowing yourself to think differently. And that may be all that’s needed to positively make you stand out among the competition.

If you view things as unchangeable, then nothing can change for the better. By thinking outside the box and questioning the status quo, you’ll constantly be considering how you could improve something.
