In an ideas-led business, there's a great deal of pressure laid on the shoulders of those who're expected to come up with the goods.
Ideas come naturally and if you're the one coming up with the ideas, it's up to you to help them grow.
Don’t downplaying your idea before you've even said it out loud?
Why give people a reason to disagree, before they even know what it is they disagree with?
As I've said before, ideas need to be given room to grow, space to breathe.
Think of ideas as ....as.....babies.
It's not enough to be the mother (or father)
You have to be the midwife too.
Deliver it safely into the world, check its vital signs and give people what they need to nurture it.
Everything starts with an idea - cities, companies, ambitions...
So don't start by introducing it as the runt of the litter - it won't stand a chance.
