Where do the great ideas come from within your organization? Does the culture in your organization welcome new innovative ideas from all service members or employees?

Who is responsible for for setting the proper atomosphere for idea development wihin your organization?

How important are new ideas to the continued growth and positive climate of your organization?

Best come from the bottom up. Even when tasked to do something it's always best to ask those who will be doing before implementing when possible

I agree. Not everyone does. I was removed from a team once when I was a Captain (working at HQ AFMC) for asking how the grandiose plan was going to affect the people in the units who were going to end up with the extra work.

Thanks COL Mikel J. Burroughs. Great ideas can come from within the organization or be driven from outside the organization.
One of the basic issues is the purpose of the organization. If it is internally focused then great ideas should come from within.
If the organization focuses on helping organizations outside of itself great ideas can and should come from within and outside the organization especially from clients that have been supported by it for some time.
