Answer: The ability to think lies within all of us – true some are more creative than others but we have found that many employees are able to put forward ideas but only if they are allowed to do so. Our E Book – which as a member you can download within the Leadership Section of the Knowledge Hub – ‘6 Steps to Exceptional Business Growth’ – will show you how to make people more comfortable in making suggestions and also ensure that they feel far more motivated and a bigger contributor to the success of your business. One quote that I would like you absorb is this ‘the amount of thought and creativity that people come up with is directly related to the size of the goal in people’s heads’’. What this means is that if you set a goal of, say, 5% growth whoever is tasked with hitting that goal will come up with the thinking and ideas that will hit that but no more and probably come up short – but challenge people’s minds to, say, double the profits and say ‘nothing is off the table’ and you will be amazed at the amount of creativity and ideas that even the quietest can come up with – if given the chance!! That is down to your leadership or the leadership of the company you work in
