Many professionals and teams struggle with creativity, not because they don’t have ideas, but because they stop too soon. In many workplaces, people are quick to judge or dismiss their own ideas, aiming to find the “right” solution immediately. This rush to evaluate leads to fewer ideas on the table and limits innovation. Over time, teams become predictable, and problem-solving becomes stale.

One proven way to overcome this is to adopt the principle that when it comes to ideas, more is better. Instead of jumping to conclusions or settling for the first few suggestions, high-performing teams focus on divergent thinking—generating as many ideas as possible without judgment. This mindset encourages curiosity, experimentation, and fresh thinking.
