I share with you seven steps that I follow to release ideas. I recommend that you also apply them:\u00a0<\/span>

1. Have confidence in yourself<\/span>
I have found that there are few tasks more frustrating than being on a team where the leader is insecure and demeans the work of others. While having an occasional fear is completely natural, conveying your insecurities to your team makes others less trusting of you. And this freezes innovation. What can you do?\u00a0<\/span>Train your leadership,<\/span>meditate, ask your friends and mentors for advice, allow yourself to cry and express your emotions. I've noticed that being authentic about myself always works out well in the end.\u00a0<\/span>

2. Gather influential people<\/span>
When I see a new building rising towards the sky, I imagine the process that its architects followed to design it. They weren't just thinking about what's going on inside the building; They also focused on how its inhabitants move inside and outside of it, with the goal of promoting the connection between them. That's your job when building a team. You need to embrace this connectivity, as influencers who are most diverse (in talents or points of view) create the most together.\u00a0<\/span>

3. Focus on the process\u00a0<\/span>
Designers like to say that context equals content. It's just another way of saying that the way you set the table matters. As a leader, your goal is to boost creative confidence by making your team comfortable enough to come out of their\u00a0<\/span>comfort zone. Do this by actively listening to them and using the improvisational trick of trying to say 'yes' to all ideas instead of 'no'. It operates on the belief that there are no bad ideas, only early executions of good ones.\u00a0<\/span>

4. Make it fun<\/span>
Innovation is not a rational activity. It takes a lot of effort, failure, and risk. If you don't enjoy the process, then why do it? Remember that the journey is more important than the destination, so make the process fun. Also, sharing joy builds bonds and fuels the creative process.\u00a0<\/span>

5. Write your social contract<\/span>
Many teams operate without a written social code. Be different. Have your team members develop a social contract and have everyone sign it. Rituals bring people together and help remind them of their promises. Your social contract should be different from mine, but here are some ideas for a code that you could emulate:<\/span>
Break the rules and dream<\/span>
Open the doors and listen<\/span>
Trust and be reliable<\/span>

6. Give people toys<\/span>
Toys make work more enjoyable. My team created a toy called the Rainforest Canvas to help people visualize their ecosystems. We have conducted workshops with their canvases all over the world, and they are quite enlightening. Each block on the canvas represents a critical part of your ecosystem, such as leaders and resources. Team members should fill out each section with questions (eg, What resources are valuable? Who are the leaders?) Done right, the results can be powerful. People see their ecosystems visibly for the first time.\u00a0<\/span>

7. Bring together social differences.<\/span>
Social barriers, whether caused by geography, language, or lack of trust, can undermine relationships even before they start. Overcoming those barriers is essential. Ask yourself who on your team is not collaborating with whom, what is blocking collaborations, and how you can motivate those conversations. Perhaps the key is modifying incentives that drive better communication. Review your social contract with your team and align personal initiatives with community goals<\/span><\/p>\n
