"Good" "Bad" "Work on it" "Keep working - maybe it's not as bad as you think it is" "Put it to a committee" "Give up" "Make it worse" "Make it better" "Still a bad idea" "Overthink it" "Throw yourself into a pit of wild badgers" "Throw it away" "Call it done" "Sigh."

On-the-job creativity may go unrewarded an may even create consternation among co-workers.

' A new idea '

"Do you mind if I bounce something off you?"

"Looks like our days at the think tank are numbered."

'Frankly, I'm not sure this whole idea-sharing thing is working.'

"OK team, we need innovative solutions and we need 'em fast!"

Genius

'I want to see more blue sky thinking.'

Space for Lease.

Unsuccessful board meeting.
