Have you or the people on your team tried to really promote the tool around the company? Aside from people in my business finding the link to it-- they don't really grasp the concept. Maybe I can partner with you to fully understand the tool (and make sure it's company wide, not business specific) and promote it. Taking notes on a Wiki is a GREAT idea. These are three great ideas and I think you are exactly right-- some GEN Y Professionals are afraid. I would love to hear some success stories from our readers on this. Brandon-

I'm no expert in the industry I work in, but my boss cares more about me thinking than always being right. No matter what, I'm always learning -- and on the few occasions I come up with a better idea, I feel like I have truly triumphed. Roosevelt's quote, by the way, is awesome -- thanks for sharing that.

I think this is relevant to us all in varying degrees. Fear is a barrier that can seriously prevent you from getting where you want to go in your career and life in general. Sometimes small steps don't help you win that battle. It may mean taking on a huge problem or skiing down an incredibly steep slope and failing for the smaller stuff to seem more manageable. This also gives you a very good understanding of where your weaknesses are as well. If you can't bring yourself to do that though, small steps are a good way to start. Also, it seems most creativity does come from a new innovation of old ideas. I know I'm terrible with coming up with brand new things on my own. Sometimes by going out and seeking several experts and understanding how things have been done in the past you can grow that into something new. That's a good way to start if you tend to feel that coming up with something completely new seems like too big of a road block. Good Post. I think this is relevant to us all in varying degrees.
