Problems, Original Thinking, and Adam Grant

I was in a meeting the other day discussing the problems we're currently facing in education generally and in our little corner of it specifically. The gist of the discussion was that neither our problems nor our solutions are new. If we truly want to solve anything, some original thinking is in order. This is itself a problem, since the vast majority of our thinking is mundanely derivative at best. As we consider the challenges we face as an office, it behooves us to consider how we might promote original thinking. I hope you find this TED talk a step in that direction.
