Are there solutions to problems just sitting around your office waiting for a bit of ingenuity to unlock them? Use your own cleverness and imagination and see what solutions you come up with.
Ingenuity is one of the most important characteristics for succeeding during challenging business cycles. Having an inventive skill or imagination can be helpful in many situations like the one below.
I was returning from a trip to the West Coast and found myself, as I frequently do, in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of visiting that particular airport, it can be a bit confusing during connection times.
And if it’s complicated for a “seasoned traveler” like me, imagine how it would be for a mother travelling alone with three school-aged children. Three very tired children. Children who looked as if they had been awake far too long.
Apparently, this family had to make a connection at the other end of the terminal, but the kids looked much too tired to make it there. But since they were too old to use a stroller, the mother came up with a unique approach. She rented one of the SmartCarte luggage carts that are available in the airport, put her kids on the cart, and proceeded to her destination.
It was quite a sight: the mother racing through the airport with three kids laughing and waving their hands as if they were riding on a roller coaster at an amusement park!
How about using this type of approach in your own organization? Are there solutions to problems just sitting around your office waiting for a bit of ingenuity to unlock them? Use your own cleverness and imagination and see what solutions you come up with.
