"That is stinking thinking"- anonymous
While reading an article on What It Takes To Innovate: Wrong-Thinking, Tinkering, and Intuiting I learned the characteristics of some past creators.
The first one was to Produce and Test More Ideas.
In a recent post I talked about a boss demanding new ideas that had been implemented in three different fields. Unreasonable? I think it is more eye opening.
According to the article, the researcher Michael Michalko discovered that"
"Edison guaranteed productivity by giving himself and his assistants idea quotas. His own personal invention quota was one minor invention every 10 days and a major invention every six months"
Wow!
If you set the bar high enough you will have to work harder to reach it BUT if you do you will be rewarded greatly.
Today's question is:
"What quotas do you set for yourself?"
