You will be surprised at how receptive people can become when you are willing to share with them your expertise, enthusiasm and energy.

Not every idea need come affixed with a price tag.

It is critical to know when you should give away your ideas and when you should hold them close to the vest.

If you want others to work diligently on a project, then make it their own.

Implementers don’t care about the origins of ideas or the creative process; they are too busy with their own concerns, while idea people don’t often value the necessary financial and business management skills necessary for execution.

Understand the control dynamics within your organization and document the generation of your idea or your movie will wind up getting produced without you getting proper credit.

When you are in alignment with the people around you, you are much more likely to travel in the same direction and avoid hidden agendas.

Avoid the fog and confusion of hidden agendas by aligning your interests.

When you have a great idea, sometimes the best way to make it happen within a large corporation is to convince others that it was their idea – to get them emotionally invested in the project.

People are wrong to think that they can achieve more by not letting people know what they want, clearly and openly.
