Once a great business leader (who heads a multi-billion dollar company) was stuck with a business problem for which neither he nor his wise men could come up with a real good solution. He went on and poised the question (in a simplified form) to a group of young children at a school. Children exclaimed at the simplicity of the question. And soon Jack had the solution (rather multiple solutions) before him.
Moral of the story:
1) Think different. Don’t choke innovation. Float your problems (wherever possible) to larger group of brains – instead of limiting it to your (labelled) wise men
2) Collaborate and reach out: someone from outside your team/group might turn a seemingly difficult problem into a real easy one.
3) Appreciate the fact that different people see things differently and different thought processes could actually bring out totally different views
