It seemed like such a good idea. It was pushed thru with enthusiasm. But it didn't work. Not then. And, not now. Have you ever had an idea like that? It felt so good you practically fell in love with it. The only trouble is, it didn't produce what you expected. The sooner we let go of a bad idea the faster it can stop poisoning. Let go of that bad idea.  -- doug smith  

I get stuck on an idea and the more I think about it, the more I like that idea. Is that the best strategy? Not as an exclusive approach to decision thinking because what if that idea is flawed? It's better to get some more thinkers in the mix. A little disagreement can test an idea before the idea has a chance to test you. Leaders need diverse thinkers to help them expand their limited perception. When we're wrong we don't even know it unless someone else opens our mind. Keep that mind open. That next idea might be much better. -- doug smith  

Are you searching for more possibilities? Are you generating more ideas? There could be more possible ways to solve your problem than you will ever think of, so keep thinking, keep exploring. Possibilities equals power. -- doug smith
