724 EXTRA Think Like A Kid

<p>You can’t beat kids when it comes to new, innovative, out-of-the-box thinking. I mean, not all kids, but those fearless try-anything-because-they-don’t-know not-to kinds of kids. I think you know the kinds of kids I’m thinking of:</p> <ol> <li>The ones that climbed up to the roof with their blankets to see if they use them as capes to fly</li> <li>The ones that would take electronic things apart and put them back together</li> <li>The ones that always asked: “why?”</li> </ol> <p>While most of the kids who think out of the box don’t understand where the box is – similar to having a <a href="https://ideateandexecute.com/acting-dumb-and-beginners-mind/">beginner’s mind</a> – there is one key difference between having a beginner’s mind and a “kid mind” – which is the unabashed playfulness. The willingness to just try something out, just for fun, to see what happens. It’s active, assertive, and open-minded. And of all of the tools in our arsenal of innovation, this one is probably the easiest to uncover.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thinkfuture/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/thinkfuture/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/thinkfuture/support</a>
