How does our team get something new?

Outside-the-box thinking, innovative products, ideas and approaches - these are gold to growing, adaptive organizations. The problem is that leaders often don't know how to help their people get there. You may know the saying, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." So how do we get something new? Roger Chandler of Intel shares his insights on applying principles of improvisational theatre to get quick results from collaborative teams:

• Listen - clear to the end.
• It's not about you, it's about the team. Co-create by saying "yes" to your teammate's idea and adding something more
• Planning too far ahead may blind you to opportunity
• Own up to mistakes and find the opportunities that they hold
