Ask Dumb Questions, Embrace Mistakes — and Other Lessons on Innovation | Dave Raggio | TED
To launch new initiatives within the confines of a large corporation, you’ll need to work with the system, not against it, says “intrapreneur” Dave Raggio. He shares three lessons on innovation he learned the hard way — so you don’t have to. (Made in partnership with Intuit) (Recorded at TEDNext 2024 on October 24, 2024)…

The mistake is asking a dumb question. “Ask dumb questions, get dumb answers”

It’s also a way to see how intelligent people are. Not so dumb.

Ask dumb questions, embrace (your own) stupidity, open up Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) because you don’t even know United States Government Accountability Office already exists, run the country to the ground and other lessons on “innovation”.

My job doesn’t want innovation. I was told by more than one manager, “If you want to move up then stop talking, don’t ask questions, and don’t point out any problems.” I’ve been blacklisted by several departments because I refuse to do that.

Yep, I’ve worked for those types of companies before. Now I work for a Fortune 25 company and they want innovation and silly small mistakes along the path to get there because 8 or 9 out of 10 times, it leads to something better.
The other thing that kills morale like crazy is stifling new ideas ???? A company doesn’t have to implement all of them, but companies that think only Executives have good ideas are bound to perish. I’m amazed by how many large companies survive based on their financial profit but make massive mistake that eat into it

Nonsense. Except for his very beginning of the conversation. Work quietly and build wins to build allies and eventually partners. By the time leadership notices you, you will have more momentum than they do. However, you must be genuine in your desire to have a better org giving better results. You would be shocked how much leadership avoids confrontation/responsibility in large orgs. Be content to just provide power/value, but also know that at some point you must make the right friends (not allies) to get a seat at the table for leadership. Someone is going to want to “sponsor” you so that they can take “credit” when you advance.

this is all great but very much depends on the company you work for and the group you are part of. In most places, if you even ask inquisitive questions you are stupid, if you make a mistake you don’t know what you are doing 99% of the places are like this and will get you fired. you need a job to get another job so this advice is load of bull crap. If you are NOT working for a company with a culture of innovation and openly supports asking stupid questions and making mistakes, don’t listen to this advice. Most people don’t follow their own advice.

The first day in my company the managers ask why no one gives them any feedback. Then after a couple of months working I gave them constructive feedback only to be blamed and cut salary. Jeez. Stupid move.
Now I work for another company that I have much more respect. => lesson learned: shut up and do your job. Just focus on improving yourself and be always ready for a job change
