6ers, if you or your organization wants to excel, you need to now and then deviate from accepted ways of thinking in order to refresh your creative reserves and encourage more original approaches. Focusing too much on your past achievements can cause you to miss out on new opportunities.

This week, Tony Nash is joined by Luke Shabro, a US Navy veteran and Deputy Director for Mad Scientist, a US Army initiative that seeks to shape future operations and warfare. He is passionate about innovation, technology, and helping future-proof the Army. With a mission to help secure the safety, security, and prosperity of the country, he helps people place themselves in a new world with different technologies, including artificial intelligence, forcing paradigm shifts away from current and conventional thinking.

You'll discover that by encouraging new ideas, you’re placing yourself in a position of constant improvement and preventing the stifling of creativity among your team. You're encouraging people to think in terms of first principles and to think more deeply about their ideas so that they can generate good unconventional ideas that have an impact and make a difference.

As a result, you build the mindset for innovation, and you will be more willing to look at all possibilities from a new perspective. You avoid falling into the trap of tunnel vision, doing only what is expected of you and not expressing yourself enough.
