I often hear this
"Where do you keep getting ideas like that?"
Ha — I'm just ordinary.
Do employees at a company really have no ideas?
Most don't lack them.
They just don't say them.
Occasionally I've heard this too.
"Are you out of your mind? Why would you hand your own idea over to the company? Are they your relatives?"
True story.
If you happen to think your team members have no ideas,
that's a problem.
It's not that they have no ideas —
they don't trust the managers, the CEO or team lead.
Because, of course, employees aren't going to see things the way you do.

Once the habit of hiding everything away is repeated, it actually disappears even from your mental habits.
The higher the rank or the older you get.. really, moments come when no ideas come out at all.
Sadly, 2
If you leave the company and try to realize alone those ideas you'd kept hidden,
it won't work. Well, it's not impossible, but it's hard.
Because there isn't much you can do alone. You can't get up to scale.
The risk is simply too big for one person to carry.
Not only that. Creating it and running it as a daily operation are two different problems.
Therefore,
the thing to do to set up a new-business team
is to earn employees' trust in the company and in the managers.
Nash equilibrium..
To build a movie-like reality, you need a serious reflection on organizational culture.
For everyone.
