Lessen your accidentally diminishing impact by experimenting with Multiplier replacement behaviors

Accidental Diminisher Profile
Idea Fountain

The Idea Fountain is a creative, innovative thinker who loves an idea-rich environment. They are a veritable fountain of ideas. For these Accidental Diminishers, ideas bubble up 24/7 and they burst into the office brimming with new ideas to share them with their colleagues.

What's their positive intention?

For their ideas to stimulate ideas in others.

What's the unintended consequence?

They overwhelm others who either shutdown or spend time chasing the idea du jour.

What's a Simple Workaround?

Create a Holding Tank: Before you share a new idea, stop and ask yourself if you want the people who work for you to take action on it – right now. If not, hold off sharing it and put it into a holding tank in your brain or on a piece of paper.

How might you be draining your team, despite good intentions?

Get in touch today. Let’s go beyond simple workarounds and explore Multiplier replacement behaviors.
