Week 4 Reading: Chapter 5
1) What stood out to me the most was the table of "The Most Common Idea Killers". Reading through each of the comments listed brought me back to when I heard these used. Negative comments can affect the openness of people. If a person were to say "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." (pg.157), the recipient of the comment would most likely shutdown and not share as many ideas freely. Words can have a major impact on the idea making process.
2) There was really only one part that confused me for a moment. It was the list of misconceptions. At first I thought that he was listing his thoughts on innovation but after reading the last sentence of the intro to the section it made since.
3) Would you consider yourself to be left or right brained? Is there a trend when it comes to being left or right brained (gender, culture, environment, race, upbringing)?
4) There really wasn't anything that I didn't understand or that I disagreed with him about. Many of his ideas and explanations in this chapter were clear and I agreed with.
