Listen
Try listening more than you speak. Listen to experts and fellow enthusiasts, including those with whom you disagree. Absorb their perspectives, insights, and experiences.
From listening to others, we can gather valuable insights from both their successes and their failings.
You have a voice. Share it
But remember that using your voice as an everyday leader comes with a responsibility.
When sharing your opinion—in-person or via social media—be clear, be concise, and be constructive. That is the best way to be heard.

Don't assume anything
Without a face or a voice to convey emotion, written text can easily be misconstrued as being terse, sarcastic, snarky, or even mean.
Always assume you don’t know the tone of any written communication you receive and openly inquire as to the emotions of your debate partner.

Principles of brainstorming
- Generate as many ideas as possible. For the purposes of this exercise, quantity is more important than quality.
- Don’t judge any ideas until the session is over. People will hold back if they think they may be judged negatively.
- Encourage people to think outside of the box. Although wild ideas may not be feasible, they steer the conversation in new directions.
- Combine ideas. Encouraging people to build off one another makes it easier for them to contribute and boosts team morale.
Work alone—together
Give people time to think by themselves prior to the brainstorm, so everyone has a chance to take his or her thought process in a unique direction.
A potential consequence of brainstorming is convergent thinking: the tendency for individuals’ ideas to become increasingly similar over the course of a brainstorming session.
