The Most Important Words for Innovation

Don The Idea Guy

The most recent Guerrilla Marketing email bulletin has Jay and Amy Levinson sharing the most important words in Human Relations:

  • The six most important words in business: “I admit that I was wrong.”
  • The five most important words in business: “You did a great job.”
  • The four most important words in business: “What do you think?”
  • The three most important words in business: “Could you please…”
  • The two most important words in business: “Thank you.”
  • The one most important word in business: “We.”

To build upon this meme, I wanted to add my own quick course on the most important words for Innovation:

  • The six most important words for innovation: “This process really drives me crazy!”
  • The five most important words for innovation: “Why do it this way?”
  • The four most important words for innovation: “What do you think?”
  • The three most important words for innovation: “What if we…”
  • The two most important words for innovation: “Why not?”
  • he one most important word for innovation: “How?”

How about you?
What are the most important words in your category?

The Ugly Back

Everyone goes to the museum to admire the pretty fronts of artistic tapestries, but the ugly backs face the wall and are rarely on display.
