When You Go To A Football Game

Any Time People Come Together In A Meeting, We're Not Necessarily Getting The Best Ideas; We're Just Getting The Ideas Of The Best Talkers.

I Worry That There Are People Who Are Put In Positions Of Authority Because They're Good Talkers, But They Don't Have Good Ideas.

In Our Society, The Ideal Self Is Bold, Gregarious, And Comfortable In The Spotlight. We Like To Think That We Value Individuality, But Mostly We Admire The Type Of Individual Who’s Comfortable "putting Himself Out There."

...remember The Dangers Of The New Groupthink. If It's Creativity You're After, Ask Your Employees To Solve Problems Alone Before Sharing Their Ideas. If You Want The Wisdom Of The Crowd, Gather It Electronically, Or In Writing, And Make Sure People Can't See Each Other's Ideas Until Everyone Has Had A Chance To Contribute.

Your Tendency To Be Inward-directed Or Outward-directed Is Huge; It Governs Every Part Of The Way You Live And Work And Love.
