A Short Memory is Best For Innovation – Explore Create Repeat – by 4ormat
“In order to innovate, you need to let go by having a “short memory”: create, then release. Dwelling on the past prevents you from moving forward. While you should carry with you the lessons you’ve learned, you shouldn’t let them define your current project.”

Find the Coaching in Criticism – Harvard Business Review
An excellent piece on the 3 triggers that feedback can touch, and an outstanding summary of 6 steps to becoming a better receiver of feedback,
[HT @chiphouston1976 and @nicolenmartin]
-
Feedback is crucial. That’s obvious: It improves performance, develops talent, aligns expectations, solves problems, guides promotion and pay, and boosts the bottom line.
-
But it’s equally obvious that in many organizations, feedback doesn’t work.
-
Most companies try to address these problems by training leaders to give feedback more effectively and more often. That’s fine as far as it goes; everyone benefits when managers are better communicators. But improving the skills of the feedback giver won’t accomplish much if the receiver isn’t able to absorb what is said. It is the receiver who controls whether feedback is let in or kept out, who has to make sense of what he or she is hearing, and who decides whether or not to change. People need to stop treating feedback only as something that must be pushed and instead improve their ability to pull.

Laura Eddolls – Explore Create Repeat – by 4ormat
So many lessons here…
-
Do you think you need to be multidisciplinary in order to be successful as a creative professional?
-
I think being a relaxed person and having a relaxed style is comforting and attractive to other people. I don’t like formality, and I don’t think many people do, so I avoid it to a certain extent.
-
the curation/incubation of many creative ideas is crucial in order to innovate; others have also suggested that over-saturation of ideas is detrimental to original thought.
-
You continuously have to be aware of your surroundings and who is doing what.
-
why I always blog about my mistakes and what I learn, because I want people to learn from me as I’ve had the chance to learn from others.

Transforming Education: The One Thing I’d Change in 2014 | Edutopia
“Learning to listen doesn’t mean that we stop all other work. It doesn’t mean that the principal ceases to lead from a collaboratively built, living vision; it doesn’t mean that teachers stop offering challenging texts or allow their classrooms to become unruly. It would mean that we’d pay much more attention to how we communicate with each other, to how we listen to each other.
Authentic dialogue could lead to stronger communities, to deeper understandings across difference, and to finding creative solutions to the problems that exist in our schools and country. That’s my hope for 2014: that we learn how to slow down, listen, and effectively communicate with each other.”
