In one of my newsletter subscriptions, I noticed this phrase "outside of the box thinker". Honestly, this is the first time I encounter this kind of words. Please excuse my ignorance. Can you tell/ explain its meaning?

For me Man Tony , it means that we should go beyond what are the normal answer to questions. That we should go beyond the possible answers.
Just my thought. . .

Yes, like in extraordinary and unique solutions to a problem, Man Tony.

I think you have already seen that word but never just think of its meaning.Just come
to think that we are reading so many materials everyday.Sometimes we could remember what we have read but most of it are just the summary of all the meaning of the message.I think the message denotes that the message given to you do not have any connection whatsoever with the message you are trying to subscribe.It could also be a new message that could enlightened you to accept your previous massages you did not accept.It could be a good message that guarantees your previous messages are really very important.I hope I have help you in my own ways of understanding it.

Hello berting600 greetings. I really don't remember having come across with this phrase. To me it sounds like a new coined phrase. Your comment is very much appreciated.

Outside the box is management speak supposedly for thinking that is creative and goes beyond the current paradigm, though in reality it is just the same old crap rehashed
all the best urban

Hi,
I also didn't know the meaning of the phrase "outside of the box thinker". But after reading other responses of mylot friends I came to know the meaning of this phrase. Thinking differently or uniquely or giving solutions differently than generally other people can not think.

This is a re-statement of the common phrase 'thinking outside the box' which means thinking about a problem in a novel, unusual or unexpected way about a problem to solve it in a way no one had thought about before.
Though it's commonly used in management speak it is a common English phrase that can be applied to any problem or puzzle.
