Daily Inspiration: "Committees are an infrastructure designed to race you to the bottom of opportunity!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Committees kill ideas.

Committees kill all initiative.

Committees kill the idea of innovation.

Committees are the destroyer of all things.

Did I mention I think committees are a bad idea?

"Let me check with the committee." "We've got a committee looking into that." "There's a committee involved with the decision." "We'll send that to the committee for deliberation." And the worst one: "We think we should study it a bit more, and so we'll form a committee!"

These are the phrases that send organizations into a death spiral of inaction driven by the lowest common denominator of thinking. They are the black holes of the corporate universe - it’s where innovation goes to die, creativity is destroyed, bright sparks of imaginative thinking are snuffed out - and a place from which no great idea or bold initiative can ever escape!

Establishing a committee is a guaranteed prescription for innovation paralysis!

Here's why.
