Good ideas aren’t bound by hierarchy or conferred along with titles.
The best ideas come from vigilant and continuous social exploration of diverse networks that go far beyond hierarchies and titles.
This type of expansive social exploration allows for social learning: it gives you a chance to discover and harvest insights from a diversity of viewpoints and experiences.
The wider and more diverse your network, the better chance you have of harvesting good ideas.
Leadership isn’t about coming up with the good ideas; it’s about facilitating the exploration of ideas so good ones can be harvested. Not only will this effort bring forward the best ideas, but it also cultivates connection, builds trust, creates culture, unleashes creativity, and boosts productivity.
