This present study reviews a current situation and task in a study of creativity to create our sustainable innovation. The study of creativity has had important problems: “creative education” and “creative problem solving” for 40 years. The creative education demonstrates children can acquire feelings of self-determination and self-competence with frequent repetition of the learning through trial and error, or insight. On the other hand, educational tools provided enough evidence of effectiveness on creative problem solving of nursing education, human resource development on business, and Japanese language education. In particular, the use of brainstorming card game suggested that (1) the brainstorming differed from debate or discussion in a variety of ways, and (2) the brainstorming was useful of not only learning skills of problem solving, but also building human relationship. We expect educational tools provide new methods to build human relationship, and contribute to development of personality formation for creative leadership.
