We want to create pioneering or lead pioneering companies, but we give ourselves or the people who work for us no time to think.

Thinking requires; permission (do your staff job descriptions allow for the task of ‘thinking’?), time, and the protection of that time.

Thinking | Inspiration (in the space where you work) is aided by; a well designed space, a library, significant amount of greenery, sunlight, music, silence, and protection from EVERYTHING else.

I know, ask any business operator or owner to build a library and a glass house in these times of ever increasing costs, and they may tell you to go jump. Even though it might be the very thing that; leads to inspiration and thinking that catapults their company ahead into clear space.

It’s sad that the thing that sets us apart as human beings - the ability to think and create - are actively discouraged in most workplaces (even the term ‘workplace’ needs a rethink).

Let your people create and they’ll create something amazing for you. Give your people time | permission to think.
