People in my company really need to learn how to brainstorm better
October 31st, 2009 by admin
I’ve been working in advertising now for about 2 years. It’s pretty awesome. Not at all like they show it on TV, on Mad Men. Well, maybe a little like that. But the worst part for me are the brainstorms. What a waste of time! There’s always somebody in the room who thinks they know everything, and that everyone else’s ideas are crap. Half the people don’t say a word – they’re too worried they’ll lose their jobs. When our creative director sits in, the only ideas that ever get chosen are hers. Basically the entire meeting is just painful. I really wish my company would do something about it, figure out how to brainstorm better. It’s a good place – but I know we’d be better and probably a lot more successful.
