Key Talking Points:
- Walt Disney- three stages of thinking: dreamer, realist, and critic
- Learning and working- learn one thing every day, affects your whole body, attitude, and motivation
- The US ranked 26th/27th in the world for the number of ideas we get from our employees- do employees know owners want their ideas?
- Round robin brainstorming exercise- topic to discuss and each person has a chance to give ideas. Best ideas happened at the end once people can hear what others say and build on it
- Check your ego and job title at the door when brainstorming as a group- no idea is a bad idea and there can’t be criticism
- SWOT- strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats: don’t wait to do SWOT when there is a serious issue. When you’re desperate you will come up with desperate ideas
- Brainstorming with a team builds loyalty and makes people want to contribute
- Don’t limit your base of knowledge to just the people you know- get outside input
- Be observant when you’re outside of work that could help your business
