Great category, Gil! I will certainly keep it in mind for my next guest post with Synaptic i. And since I”m about to get in the car for a long drive, which is always great for firing up my own creative juices, that post should be coming soon!

I totally agree. Employees have great ideas. Studies have shown that salary and bonuses only get companies half way – if companies engage employee’s and genuinely value their feedback – the employees are much more likely to stay loyal and enjoy what they do.

Departments should hold weekly brainstorming sessions where ideas are tossed around and no idea is ridiculed – no matter how crazy. Most companies do not do this and they should.

Creative juices need to flow – more than ever now that the economy is still in the tank. Obviously companies need to continue to focus on the bottom line, however, they need to tap the creative geniuses from within their own organization. They may be pleasantly surprised.
