We’ve all heard the self-help gurus say that if you keep doing the same thing you’ll keep getting the same result. Want a different result? Do something differently.

At the workplace many meetings are filled with the same people discussing issues and opportunities, and often getting similar results.

So if the marketing team is always discussing marketing, why not bring in someone from another department and get their ideas on the marketing strategy. Or shake up your team by bringing in guest speakers to inspire and motivate and help get the most out of your team. Welcoming new people to offer ideas that may be outside of the box can encourage the existing team to share more ideas that may not be what the company normally does – and that’s what you want.
