So what constitutes a great idea for Leaders? An idea capable of a breakthrough perhaps?
Well apart from the fact that there is nothing new under the sun – it has to be in how old thinking can be the new idea. Probably a new recipe but with age old ingredients -
Get all the following ingredients fresh from the market every day.
Take two spoons of black belt curiosity mix it vigorously with a big dollop of ‘what’s next?’ – whisked for as long as you can get those who give a damn to pay attention. Simmer.
Add the resulting alchemic brew slowly into the juice of some seriously smart curation (a reduction) of what is globally (and freely) available – all the wisdom of humanity. Don’t let it stand at all.
Like tribal soup keep adding whatever arrives every day and chuck it in. Add spice to taste. Never whine. White or Red.
Stand back a little.
Draw a simple menu on the wall.
Think hard about how to tell everyone what the meal will taste like.
Invite many friends to dine with you regularly. Even strangers. Add their conversation to the meal. They will tell you if it tastes good or not – quicker than friends perhaps.
Never freeze or store.
Don’t re-heat.
And just for fun anyone want to give it a name? I’ll kick it off…
