Brainstorming - Part 1 of 2
July 10th, 2006In today’s fast and flat world, ideas are becoming critical competitive advantages. Managers - and many others - need to be good at getting the most and best ideas from themselves and their teams.
And, if you ask a hundred managers what are some of the tools they might use to generate ideas, the ONLY tool that would get 100 votes is brainstorming. The funny thing is, we’ve been in lots of meetings where folks said that what they were doing was brainstorming, but it wasn’t. It was solution development, which is a completely different thing.
Since many managers don’t know how to lead a brainstorming session, this cast (the first of 2 parts) tells you how.
Note: Apologies to all on the audio quality of the show. Mike was on vacation, working with broken equipment, and a less-than-ideal recording environment. Despite all the audio editing and enhancements within our limited abilities, the audio quality falls short of our standards.

Great Podcast! Right on the mark!! I have to admit I am a high “I” and would have ordered the pizza. And, I have a high “D” boss, and well… never mind just in case.

Sparky-
Niiiiice! Smart move on the High D reticence. The more one is aware, the more likely one is to make the right move.
