Creative leaders are often idea machines. Their minds are constantly scanning, connecting, and generating possibilities.
But when every new thought turns into an immediate team discussion, it can overwhelm others and dilute focus.
That’s why great leaders create an “idea parking lot”, a place to capture, organize, and revisit ideas. The goal is to make your thinking productive, not disruptive. Let your team breathe. Then, when the timing is right, bring forward the ideas that truly move things forward.
Creativity becomes powerful when it’s focused. Lead with both imagination and intention.
