"The light.... it burns!" - Nosferatu
Entertaining new ideas and crazy questions may be challenging for a leader who's trying to keep the cart on the rails. Don't squash creativity. Employees offering of new ideas, even if the ideas are wacky, are a sign that staff is highly engaged. Entertaining these ideas gets them and keeps them engaged. Even 5-10 minutes spent playing in this space with your staff will be a good investment. You'll be surprised how talking about possibilities for tomorrow adds energy and fuels the achievement of what's right in front of us today. If you feel a tendency to draw the shades on your team's bright ideas - slap on some SPF 3000 sunscreen and step into the light with them. “There are darknesses in life, and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.” - Bram Stoker, Dracula <<Previous Next>> Checkout what it means to GET CREATIVE with TWE>> Best, Tim Ready to unlock your leadership impact and build unshakable teams?

Each day at our 9:30 operations meeting we are required to provide a daiily value statement and example. I'd like to give this idea a shot for 2 weeks. It will be interesting to see what comes out of it!
