Humans, in general, are so keen on shutting down other people’s ideas. Especially when what is being suggested sounds wrong or stupid to our ears.
Adopt Jocko’s attitude instead: don’t shoot down ideas, or crush people, or insult. Swallow your pride. Don’t voice pointless disagreements. This applies whether or not we are in a leadership or creative role.
These people are sharing information. You can learn from anything you don’t shut down blindly. Perhaps there is the seed of a good suggestion even in the seemingly stupid comment. Perhaps you are learning something about the person making the suggestion. Perhaps, if you swallowed your own ego, you would see that the suggested idea is even better than what you were thinking of.
