I think this is absolutely right. I cannot tell you how many times I have listened to someone’s suggestion and thought it absurd at the moment, but realized later there might be some great meat in what they said. I definitely don’t want people around me who only think and act like me, but who stretch me.

The experiences & knowledge that I have acquired over the years has it’s natural limits. Yet, if I collaborate with people that have had experiences & gather knowledge that I haven’t it expands my abilities. That’s one of the reasons I loved meeting with you guys each month for so many years. What do you think about a diversity of voices? I often see people only gather around them people that say similar things to what they have seen or agree with. It seems very limiting. I’m not saying a confrontational group, but striving to include in people that think even in, what might be considered, weird ways. An example is that you might have a group that pretty much agrees around a lecture time teaching on Wednesday nights for students. But maybe you have a couple of people in the group that have broken from that & suggest not even meeting as one big group, rather meet in homes all over the city. If the group gleaned some of the knowledge they might not go to that extreme, but they could implement at small group teaching mentality rather than the lecture. Not a great example, but I’ve learned to like the “weirdos” to help me think outside the box. Thoughts?
