Harmony is sublime in music, but it’s deadly to innovation. The only way to create new hybrid solutions is to clash. Innovation occurs when people with contrasting perspectives and complementary areas of expertise are in one room. We innovate best with people who challenge us, not people who agree.
The best innovation teams are like bands of superheroes: members recognize their individual gifts and talents, but they don’t let those superpowers limit them. They know when to rely on their own skills and when their partners should take over.
Before you can create your own team of superheroes, you need to understand your strengths and weaknesses.
Have your colleagues or friends take this assessment too. Then create space and time to discuss each other’s results openly and honestly. The trick is not to hide your weaknesses, but to surround yourself with people who are strong where you are weak.
