Why people reject your ideas? Watch this TEDx Talk only when you want to stretch your comfort zone …
As innovator you get a lot of NO’s. People are always so critical when you suggest something new. Why?
The big issue though is that, as Peter Drucker already told us in the 1960s, most of your colleagues and managers have been chosen for their ability to do better instead of their courage to do differently.
Your idea is beyond their comfort zone. When do you stretch your comfort zone? You would stretch your comfort zone for your child .. Right?
Ideas are like children.
People reject your idea because it’s the child of the neighbours.
The best way to get your ideas accepted in your organisation is to co-create or we-nnovate, as I like to call it. Because a new idea in an organisation needs the support of a big family to be able to grow up in a decent way.
