❓ When did you last reject a good suggestion simply because it did not come from you?

Psychology calls this not-invented-here. In everyday life, it sounds more harmless: ‘That would not work for us.’ Sometimes, what is really meant is just: ‘That was not my idea.’

And the other way round: how often has your best suggestion lost out because it came from the wrong person?

🙌 Hands up – it’s the weekend!

Every week, I end the working week with a question that could change your game.
