Today, business needs to respond quickly and creatively to change. Or worse, you'll slip off the map altogether. In fact, we need to replace all of these myths, and many others that we brought with us into our work lives, with new paradigm principles. Abstain From Judgment Judgment kills wonder and curiosity, the fuel of creativity. It is one of the most insidious blocks to individual and organizational creativity.
Most managers get in trouble when they start evaluating new ideas during the Generative stage.
Prematurely judging ideas is like deciding whether a seedling will grow to a healthy plant as it is just poking out of the soil. I don't feel intimidated anymore. You know that you can put two heads together and you don't feel like a dummy for asking the first question. This principle comes directly from theatrical improvisation and is one of the most powerful tools managers can use in fostering creativity in their staffs while increasing business. The same thing happens on the job.
