When people share ideas do you think of reasons why they shouldn’t happen, or problems that may occur?
How do you feel when you share ideas and obstacles are immediately put in your way?
“Yes, and” is powerful and opens rather than closing conversations.
Leaders don’t say “no, but have you thought of…”.
they say: “Yes, and if we do that it will help us to…”;
they say “Yes, and if we do X as well, we’ll make things even better”; and
they say “Yes, I understand where you’re coming from and we can do that, but not right now”.
