  • Think of a challenge you're facing at work.

  • Now, what is the worst possible solution you can dream up?

  • Really.

  • What is a truly terrible way to address this?

  • What could get you laughed at or even fired?

  • Got a bad idea?

  • Good.

  • This might just be the best idea you've ever had,

  • according to designer and author Ayse Birsel.

  • Her concept of wrong thinking on purpose

  • may seem counterintuitive, but it's

  • a useful tool in the challenge to solve problems in new ways.

  • Here's a central example of how Birsel pivots a dreadful idea

  • into a brilliant one.

  • Switch jobs with, say, a junior staffer or intern.

  • It may sound silly, but this humbling "as if" scenario

  • can put you into an inquisitive beginner's mindset

  • and give you a newfound permission

  • to ask, listen, and learn things that an expert would

  • assume they already knew.

  • Likewise, while you're playing the role of novice,

  • your junior employees are trying your job on for size.

  • They are now empowered with fresh agency

  • to search, experiment, and possibly discover

  • new directions altogether without the expected hierarchy

  • blocking the way.

  • How about this horrible notion?

  • Spread rumors about your colleagues.

  • If you flip the idea on its head to spreading

  • good rumors instead of negative gossip,

  • it could be an inspiring way to collectively celebrate

  • their strengths.

  • Maybe try failing-- intentionally, and repeatedly.

  • Sounds like a nightmare until you pivot it

  • to a deliberate mistake lab dedicated to celebrating

  • and learning from failure.

  • Not only could this be a great tool

  • to get over your fear of failure,

  • but it can reinforce that we learn constantly

  • by turning bad ideas into great ones.

  • Banning technology at work sounds counterproductive

  • and pretty impossible.

  • But having a no technology day once in a while

  • could remind everyone of the importance

  • of face-to-face conversations, walking meetings, even

  • meditation without interruptions from email and social media.

  • Go ahead.

  • Give yourself permission to have an awful idea.

  • The very best one might just emerge along the way.

Think of a challenge you're facing at work.
