- Brainstorming is a team sport ... support your team members!
- No criticism ... no "devil's advocates" allowed!
- Anything goes … wild, crazy, impractical, ingenious ideas encouraged!
- Go for quantity, not quality, of ideas!
- All ideas encouraged!
- Piggyback, improve, combine ideas ... be an "angel advocate"!
- Record all ideas so nothing gets lost!
- Filter ideas later, not during the brainstorming session!
- Set a time limit for the session, then stick to it!

Brainstorming!
A good way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas from which to choose! Brainstorming is a Creativity Supertool!
Are We Shooting Down Good Ideas?
- You know whether or not an idea is good based who proposed it.
- You observe from a distance rather than being lead down a path to the idea. (a.k.a. The Sniper)
- You believe every idea is improved with your input.
- Listing the top 10 ideas from your organization this year, half or more are your own.
- Brainstorming means narrowing down to the best idea, instead of hearing all of them.
- All ideas must be proven.
- You only want BIG ideas.
- You have no effective mechanisms to foster, collect, review, and implement ideas.
- Your competition is your main source of ideas.
- No matter how much you've talked about ideas, collected them, praised them, in the end you don't use them. (Like a maimed duck, you let them wander off and die.)
