Ideas are everywhere. Really nice people have ideas. Not so nice people have ideas. Irritating people have ideas. What does it do for you when you ignore what you don’t like about someone and listen for an idea?
I’m not perfect at this. I don’t think you have to be perfect. You just have to try a little bit harder and you’ll have a lot more ideas from a lot more people. That’s valuable to me as a person and for my companies as corporations.
You probably have some irritating people in your organization. You probably have some people you can’t stand in your life. Don’t let that dislike get in the way of your success.
