Teams are strongest when everyone feels free to share ideas and challenge assumptions. To ensure creative problem solving or opportunity building, only the most useful ideas will get selected (we hope), so it’s important to…
Hold your ideas lightly and avoid attachment to them. If your suggestion is not adopted, it’s not a rejection of you. And if you don’t care for someone’s ideas, avoid letting that aversion drift into not liking the person. Categorizing ideas (and people) as good/bad, right/wrong gets in the way of creative thinking.
