This small habit can unintentionally create a negative atmosphere and stifle innovation.
A recent session with a client highlighted this perfectly.
They realised they often dismiss new ideas quickly, which can impact team morale and creativity.
Instead of an automatic “no,” consider pausing and exploring the suggestion further.
Ask questions, show genuine interest, and perhaps try a small trial.
This approach not only encourages new ideas but also demonstrates that you value your team’s input.

☑️𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁: Openness and willingness to consider suggestions strengthen trust within the team.
By shifting from a default “no” to a more thoughtful “yes” or compromise, we create a more positive, collaborative, and innovative work environment.
This simple change can lead to remarkable transformations in how our teams operate and thrive.
Let’s embrace the power of “yes” and watch the positive changes unfold.
