Instructions vs. Imagination

Lego FerrariWhen I was growing up (circa mid 1970's), Legos were my favorite toy. Back then, Lego sets consisted of random bricks of various sizes and shapes and it was up to me to build what I imagined. It was all about discovery and exploring the possibilities. Problem-solving. How to construct what was in your mind.

Today, my 13-year-old son Noah still enjoys a good Lego set, but they have changed dramatically. Now you'll find a box with a beautiful picture of a pirate ship or a Ferrari on the cover. Inside, there are lots of single-use specialty parts. And, unfortunately, detailed instructions that step-by-step lead to a single outcome while simultaneously erasing the possibilities.

Instead of building blocks of right-brain imagination, the sets have become a left-brain exercise of how to follow instructions. Do what you're told exactly. Follow the rules. There's only one right answer. And God forbid, don't make mistakes!

How ironic, considering this trend is the exact opposite of what we need to win in business (and life). In the industrial age and even much of the information age, following instructions was just fine. Get good grades, work hard, do what you're told, don't make waves, and 30 years later you'll retire with a gold watch. Today, that fantasy simple no longer exists ... right along with rotary phones and lead-based paint.

Today, the world has become too complex and changes too fast. There are no more operating manuals for success. Today, winning is about creativity and imagination and exploring the possibilities. You may still get hired based on your resume, but you will advance based on your ability to improvise, adapt, and create.

In this new era of business, a key challenge for you as a leader is to develop the imagination of your teams. Instead of issuing detailed instructions, allow your people the freedom to dream. Establishing a culture where team members can unleash their creativity and explore the possibilities will not only drive better results ... it will create teams that are motivated, happy, and actually having fun instead of being clock-punching drones.

The next time you are tempted to issue a set of instructions, try a different approach. Provide the building blocks and then let your team create their own masterpiece. You may just discover that game-changing innovation is already present. It may just be locked inside a team that needs to be instructed not to just follow the instructions.

It's time to let your team's imagination come out to play. And I'm happy to lend you my old-school Lego set if it will helps jumpstart the process.

  1. yes because i dont have an imagination

    creating the solution because i cant figure out how to put things togethet

    help you become more advanced and improve your building skills

  2. 1. I feel like we can make something with out instructions but its going to be difficult.

    2. Starting on a solution to the project is new and challenging

    3. Well it give us these different projects that help us develop solutions to everyday problems and test us on how we can solve each problem which in the end make our problem solving skills a lot better.

    ReplyDelete
  3. yes because it's difficult for me at times.

    I believe creating the solution to a project is more difficult then finding a solution because you have to construct your solution.

    You will be more aware and your mind will be more developed in problem solving skills.

  4. 1. my problem solving skills are not all that grate but i feel that i am good at it.
    2. finding the solution is more hard because creating it is just following what you had in mind.
    3. it will help in make it easter to come up with thing. Also show you some way to come up with good ideas. another thing os that it lets you do projects involving that kind of stuff.

  5. I don't feel i have strong problem skill to create something without following steps because i can try different strategies and sole the problem. What is more difficult for me is coming up with new designs with out anything to picture. Engineering class helps me in having to do designs for things by my self with out coping instruction manuals. .tonii.

  6. yes,because sometimes its hard for me to fiqure somethinqq out

    creatinqq the solution is more complicated for me because it takes more workk

    we will find solutions to problems&buildd our solutionss .

  7. i feel that when u make something that u don't have to follow steps is difficult but if u try your best you can do it

    starting on how to put the project together is always the most difficult for me.

    engineering class will help me develop problem solving skills by making me put my skills to the test like make me use them so i can get better.

  8. I will have a problem with making something without any help from the instructions manuel.

    i would have to say creating a solution because i dont usually think through things

    this class is helping me with my imagation problem so it is.

  10. yes because i dint have a good imagination

    finding the solution because i have to research for something that is a good solution

  11. i think that following instructions defeats the purpose of being creative.

    i think making the plan is harder than just building it. building it you at least know where the things go.

    engineering class will help me plan things and build things better.

    i think that planning for can be easy but when it comes 2 building it it becomes harder for me


    it will help get advanced and help get better at it chagito

  14. sometimes it is hard to invent something without instructions. whats more difficult for m is creating a solution because it takes a lot of time to find the right one. Engeneering class will help me do this because we work on this together.

  18. 1. i think that in that case id say yes because sometimes, well most of the time i don't have that much imagination

    2.creating the solution is much harder than finding a solution.

    3.engineering class will help us in so many ways like in planing things and building things makes you smarter

  20. 1. it depends on the situation and what im making

    2.i think creating the solution is more difficult because you have to make it up where to finding the solution you just mess around and find how to make it work

    3.i think engineering will help me be more understanding in the way we build things

  22. 1) I don't think i'd have a problem building without instructions
    2)When i start a new project the most difficult thing for me is putting my designs on paper. I can have an idea in my head but i can't put it on paper.
    3)This class will help me by helping me put my ideas on paper

  23. 1) I think that having instructions defeats the whole purpose of usnig your imagination to build and create.

    2)I would say it's more difficult to find the solution because you have to think A LOT.

    3)Engineering helps you develop problem solving skills because it presentd you with difficult tasks in which you have to think and figure out a solution.

  24. 1.Yes because im not that good at it & its rigorous at times(Word Wall!!!)
    2.Creating the solution is harder because you have to make it & finding the solution you just solve diffrent ways on how to make it work.
    3.i dont know how engineering will help me with my problem solving skills but i can try my best in trying to solve the problem.

  26. 1.i think i do because i like trying to build something before i look at the instructions but if its to hard then i look at the steps.

    2. i think it would be choosing the best solution because all of mine are always good.

    3.it can help in better imagination, faster problem solving skills, and better understanding of building things

    ReplyDelete
  27. 1.) I feel like I have an average skill of problem solving. It isn't like over the top, but it's not at the bottom either. I have fairly creative ideas.

    2.) Creating the solution to a project is much more difficult to me as it takes me a while to get things the way I like it. To me, everything has to be just perfect (with the exception of art).

    3.) Engineering will help me develop my problem solving skills because this class will challenge me to think and come up with great new ideas of how to solve a problem. There is no "instruction manual" for this class. You have to solve it with your own head.

    1) Yes, I think I have the skills to solve problems without instructions.
    2)It is more difficult for me to find a solution to the problem as you need to brainstorm for which will make a better solution.
    3)Engineering class will help me develop my problem solving skills because we do many projects that require us to think, think, and think some more.

  29. (1)yes because i have a good imagination but i cant create it.

  30. 1. I believe i do have the power to think of stuff to design myself, and have the power to do it without following steps.

    2.I think the hardest thing for me is finding the solution to the project because you really need to think in order to find the solution.

    3. Engineering Class will help me improve in my problem solving skills and help me deign and build my own ideas.

  31. 1.)It honestly depends on what i am making or building, and most of the time i would prefer having steps to follow.

    2.)The most difficult for me would be finding the solution to the project because its easier creating in my point of view.

    3.)Engineering class will help you because there are a lot of people/friends that help you understand everything better, and your teacher as well. You will also gain a greater imagination.

    -I think that it is harder doing something without following the step by step because you have t use you imagination to put the pieces together without knowing what goes where
    -In my situation both creating a solution and building the prototype is equally as hard.
    -well firstly have patience and come up with a sturdy and good solution

    ReplyDelete
  35. 1. if it is simple, but if it is a very complex machine, then i would need help.

    2. creating the solution is harder for me because you could make up whatever you wish, but just because you thought it, it doesn't mean that you can build it easily.

    3. engineering would help me in how to build certain parts that i want to put on the machine.

  37. 1.)Yes, because it is difficult to build something if you don't have any instructions to follow only your imagination.
    2.)Creating a solution to my project is more difficult for me because it is harder to create something out of no where and then build on that.
    3.)Engineering class will help me develop different ways to solve my solving skills and use more my imagination in order to solve any problem.

    i do feel that i have strong problem solving skills because i can solve problems fast


    2. When creating a new project, what more difficult for you?

    Finding a solution to the project or creating the solution to the project. (Explain)
    when creating a new problem the thing that is difficult is the fact that i have to make something up just the beginning of the problem then later on it just gets easier





    3. Explain the different ways in how engineering class will help you develop your problem solving skills.

  44. 1-. I could create something without following certain steps i just need imagination.
    2-. Creating the solution is harder it need more thinking
    3-. it will prepare us to start solving things

  45. 1) I don't think i can solve anything without any instructions. My imagination isn't that strong, but i do have one.
    2) When creating something, the most difficult thing is creating it and if were in partners, keeping my partner in track.
    3) Engineering class will help me with problem solving skills by showing me more ways to solve it and them being more challenging.

  46. Wednesday:)
    1. I believe I'm alright i mean if i'm presented with a problem and if someone shows me the basic into solving it i can take it from there, but in other times i feel like just a little assistance helps alot more than none.
    2. I'm good at both because its not very difficult to be creative ,but its another to actually out it together im very balanced on both.
    3.i think that with the more time i spend in this class the better i advance in the projects that are presented towards me.

    ReplyDelete
  47. 1. No, as to me I'll move the pieces around to find which piece goes with the other.
    2. It's hard for me make the solution as I don't know to solve it.
    3. It will help me to solve things by step by step or on your own.

  70. 1. I don't fell like I have strong problems on doing that because I have a lot of imagination, and anybody that knows me can tell you that:P
    2. When creating a new project for me it's more difficult to find the correct solution rather than creating it. This is beacause since I always get a lot of ideas really don't know which one to really choose.
    3. I think that engineering class will help me develop my problem solving skills beacuse we're always constructing something. After all it's engineering class that's what we do.All the stuff we do in class it's all about thinking so you can solve stuff or create something new that will help us in every day life.

  81. 1. yes, without step theirs no way to build or make something, it's best if you do the steps by step.

    2. creating the solution, because, it's not that easy to build "it'". it takes time and patience to succeed the solution.

    3. by your skills in creation, idea of thinking what to build or how to build it.

    2. I think its harder for me to find the solution.

  87. 1.) sometimes because it mostly depends on what i am building other than that i feel that i have a good imagination but i much more better in following steps.

    2.) the most difficult part is finding the solution because once u find it its easier to create your project.

    3.) Engineering class will very much help me in building skills because while were building i will be learning.

  89. 1. I would have to say yes and no, because it depends on what I am 'creating'.

    2. To me the most difficult part is finding out how I am going to create the problem (the solution). After I have that figured out, the creating part which is actually assembling the product is much easier since I already have ideas how it is supposed to come out.

    3. The way Engineering class will help me in my engineering skills would be in thinking. Thinking about the solution and how to solve the problems (if any). It will / should also help me in my mat in some way as well.

  90. 1. I say yes because steps prevent you from
    committing mistakes.
    2. I think finding the solution is more difficult
    because i have to research for details and
    Facts that will work with my solution.
    3. I think that engineering will help me overcome
    my problem solving skills because we create a
    lot of things using math.

  95. 1.For me im saying doing it without steps really is hard.

    2.Finding a solution is easy but creating one is really hard even if you do brainstorm.

    3.I think it has given me imagination to build new things.

  96. 1. Yes, I do because I'm one of those people who are good, somewhat with being instructed, but the easily lost when it comes to doing thins by myself. Don't get me wrong sometimes inspiration strikes and I know what to do.
    2. I think finding a solution is harder because once you have the solution you just have to act on the solution. Finding it on the other hand is way harder.3. Engineering class helps you in developing problem solving skills because you have a project that is assigned to you and you do it. If it doesn't work out as supposed to, you have to find a solution. If you don't find the solution then you learn what it's like to have it not work out and you learn from your mistakes.

    1.I don't have problems when their is a little papper with step by steps.

    2.It's more difficult for me when i have to create a solution, so I just find or search the solution. So that i wont mess up in the project or what ever am going to do that day with my classmates.

    3.I think that engineering class will help me in so many different ways like for example, that she will teach me how to do stuff that I didn't imaged that I would get to do. Like to expirience to built one more time the bridge and also to do robots, which they are fun to built!!!!!
