The Thing about Great Ideas
Have you ever had a great idea shot down by your friends or family?
Hey, it’s Anwell, and this is Soft Power Leaders, by Brantio. We help brilliant women in Biotech and Pharma gain influence.
Friends and family love us. They want to see us succeed. They want to protect us.
Because of these well-meaning intentions, they often shut down great ideas. Great ideas push against convention. Great ideas are hard. Great ideas carry risk.
Great ideas get shot down at work as well. The next time a coworker approaches you with a great idea, try saying, “Wow, you’re excited about this idea. That gets me excited. I don’t know much about it, but please tell me more!”
How might you recognize intent and aspiration?
Thanks for listening! Now go make it happen.
