Innovation minus Support = Zero Creation
Innovation minus Support = Zero Creation
I don't mind people voicing radical opinions on matters they are genuine and passionate about. In fact, I encourage it. I'm always enthusiastic to hear when someone has something authentic and valuable to say.
There is an abundance of creativity in our world. Humanity is replete with inspirational people who have enormous value to contribute in their own ways - yet most are never seen or heard. As a collective society, we seldom encourage others to take a path of innovation because it's untested, risky, and breaks convention and related reputations.
Most of us are trained to do things based on what's already been done, and that's ok, but being led to believe it's the best and only way- isn't. I'm here to say, there's always a higher and more powerful way if you dare to jump off the cliff of 'certainty' into the unknown realms of 'possibility.'
Next time you're in a team meeting and a colleague offers an ambitious idea -before you shoot them down in flames, take a moment or two to put some creative thinking around their suggestion. I encourage 'you' to encourage a team culture that supports, not only each other, but the development of bold and ambitious goals.
You don't need to have your head in the clouds all the time, but being on the ground all day doesn't serve you either. You need to have a balance, foresight and vision and see things from a higher perspective. This is the only way you will rise above 'what is' and see the path that leads to 'what can be!'
What holds many people back in life is their unwillingness to share more of themselves and their value to others. These people feel they are not good enough and fear being judged as a consequence. So, it's up to you to inspire them and others like them so they can see more, feel more, and be more in life.
Why is it up to you? Because you're a leader and that's what real leaders do!
Inspire,
Trent Leyshan

Some people may think my views on business are fanciful and idealistic, and that may be true. However, I've been in the game long enough to know taking an approach that is anything less - only limits success to a lucky few.
