Nurturing Seeds of Greatness
đź’¬ "So like, I don't know, don't try to force it, don't try to stop it."
- Allow team members space and time to explore ideas, even seemingly silly ones.
- Junior team members often have worthwhile ideas, encourage them to develop these ideas.
- Provide guidance and address potential concerns but avoid stifling creativity.
- Even if an idea doesn't work, the team member gains valuable experience and growth.
- Protect your team's creative endeavors by ensuring they have cover by consistently delivering core work.
Key takeaway: Cultivate a high-trust environment where team members feel empowered to explore and nurture their ideas, fostering innovation and growth.
