Too often, we work efficiently, and we miss the opportunity to formulate a better question. Answering questions might be the wrong thing to do from time to time. When a leader ultimately shares what they are wondering and the team goes to work, creativity can slow to a crawl. Or stop completely.
Instead of thinking about innovating by DOING something differently, I challenge you to innovate by THINKING about new questions. Spend the week formulating a question that the team could answer. Not answering it, but instead really wondering: “What question do we need to ask (of) ourselves?”
