If you want to reduce conflict in the workplace and improve morale please read this blog post. 🙂

Many of my clients tell me that their meetings are long and unproductive.  We conduct a Code of Honor to make rules to change meetings from boring to creative.  I will cover more details on The Code of Honor in a future blog.

Here are 3 Brainstorming Stages to Improve Team Creativity

What are productive steps for a useful brainstorming session?
How can you accomplish what you really want to get done?
Try the following steps:

1. Blue area = IDEAS

• The sky’s the limit
• Ideas fall out of the blue
• Look at the possibilities
• What’s good about it?
• Challenge your assumptions

2. Red Area = SELECTION

• Discuss hurdles
• How can we make it better?
• Go back to the blue area

3. Green Area = ACTION PLAN

• Implement ideas
• Who do we need to back us up?
