Leadership Tips for Dynamic Transitioners


A great way to uncover people's core values and goals is to use the Dynamic Transitioning technique of "Blue Sky Thinking". In the 7 point program, we use this concept to define who we are and expand our horizons of what we could be.

It also works as a leadership technique. Ask your employees questions like, "What would you do first if you were made CEO of this organization?" or "What would you do if your department's budget were tripled and you could develop any product you wanted?"

The answers to these questions can give insight into how your employees and/or peers think and where their focus lies. The questions themselves can help thinking become "un-stuck".

Here's a quote you might like from Kenneth Cole that echos what I've written above:
"In business and in life, the best solution isn't necessarily the most expensive one, but it's almost always the most creative one."
