An experienced mentor challenges an eager newcomer, sparking fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. A united team learns from each other's blind spots, transforming these gaps into opportunities for growth and ultimately creating something new and remarkable. This process is not merely about old versus new; it involves weaving together the rich tapestry of the past with the vibrant future, honoring both generations and their unique contributions.

Introduce the practice of brainstorming and set the ground rules. - In the initial round, "no idea is a bad idea." Get individuals to write down ideas on cards. It prevents groupthink and greater variance of ideas. - As the next step, the leader should ask each individual to share their idea. The leader jots that idea on the whiteboard. - In the second round, the team discusses the pros and cons of each idea. Here the idea takes primacy - not the personalities. Strong-arming another individual/s is minimized. - Conflict is managed effectively. The best idea/s win. This leads to innovation which results in meaningful change. #Innovation #ReduceConflict #Leadership #Management_of_Ideas #TeamDynamics #PositiveChange #Improvements

There are only bad ideas. So select the best bad idea. When it outlives its useful life and a better bad idea comes along you can claim you were right about your original bad idea. Many good ideas have been proven to be bad ideas over time. e.g., passwords, file sharing on the LAN, links and attachments in email, floppy disks, ISDN, NetBEUI, … to illustrate just a few examples. Solutions are short lived because perfection is an infinite game theory and problems are not a constant - they evolve.
