The Last Word: Pushing the Envelope

The Last Word: Pushing the Envelope - "If you’re struggling with your new year’s resolutions, consider the research, says Steve Holden. As professionals, we all want to impress, particularly when we don’t know what we’re talking about, in meetings and such, especially when someone is minuting, as in taking the minutes, which is why we need to action a whole pile of new vocabulary. With that in mind, let me incentivise you with a heads up.

"The bad news is that brainstorming is out – it has negative connotations – but there’s good news, which is that idea showers are in. The immensely positive idea with an idea shower is not just that you have ideas, but that you have ideas that cascade down. Never mind that you can’t cascade something up; the important thing is to make sure your ideas have more leverage."
