- In the early days of your career, being recognized as someone who has good ideas is critical. But as you advance as a leader priorities shift, from generating ideas to inspiring ideas. This is trickier than it sounds because you may actually have more ideas as you rise through the ranks. What do you do? Just keep your ideas to yourself? Here's the bonus I promised. Give away some of your best ideas. What? Don't worry, your leadership will be rewarded because the measure of ideas you inspire will be a clear clue to the measure of your inspiration and your success as a leader. Do this by arousing curiosity. Asking strategic questions to implant the seeds of the idea into the minds of your most valuable resource, your talent. Use your ideas to develop your team. Germinate ideas in your talent so they can make these ideas their own. Your success will be less about you getting credit for great ideas and more about you getting credit for inspiring great ideas, that's leadership. Using what you learn in this course, you will meet the challenge of getting your talent to bring their best ideas to work. Keep me posted.
