Managing Imagination: Turning Ideas Into Action


"Imagination gallops; judgment merely walks."

Proverb

I had a meeting today with an individual whose mind syncs well with mine. Whenever we discuss what his business could be our imaginations feed off of each other with ideas flowing like water.

And like (too much) water, too much imagination can be harmful. We now need to put structure to the best of our thoughts, slowing down our imaginations to let judgment review each; discarding the bad, keeping the good.


Some individuals can do one but not the other. What do you think?

  1. Managers manage flow of resources including raw materials, production, shipping, money, people's time, etc., as well as ideas. While it is important to generate new thinking if too much comes at once little or nothing else will get done.
