Nice Quote

Heard a great comment today:

“Suggestions are things somebody else should do. Ideas are things that I can do.”

Maybe that is why Norman Bodek’s books and the others (The Idea Generator: Quick and Easy Kaizen Nice Quote lean and Ideas Are Free: How the Idea Revolution Is Liberating People and Transforming Organizations Nice Quote lean) use that word instead of “suggestion”

Great point, I think I’ll start using “ideas” instead of “suggestions.” Suggestions (and boxes) are passe’.
