Well said Monica and Nancy! Creators enjoy a constant flow of ideas and it can be challenging when others point out the potential pitfalls for implementing those ideas. This is the exact point for us to appreciate our Refiner friends who take the time to dig further into the details than Creators might naturally want to do! As Monica points out, this is a gift! What better gift than to help us identify the pitfalls early on and build in the time to develop new solutions BEFORE we launch ahead with implementation!
The new innovation tool that Allen Fahden (Creator extraordinaire. author, marketing guru) and I are developing specifically for the early education industry helps organizations identify the natural work styles of their team members and enable the right people to work on the right parts of a project at the right time to best use their gifts. Through getting to know each of our team member' work styles and organizing tasks around what people do best, we increase job satisfaction and build joy in our workplaces, greatly contributing to staff retention in our organizations. When we practice listening to the "critics" and see their contribution to the creative process as positive refinement, our team problem solving process is significantly enhanced!
