text: People often have different ideas than one another. Some are just more creative than others, and have a greater imagination when searching for a solution. For example, when a bridge collapses many people will tell you to make the supports larger so the bridge could support more weight. But more creative individuals may say to try a new approach with a different design that may make the bridge stronger and more cost effective. Not asking a variety of people for their ideas can prevent you from finding a better solution. That would limit the potential for what you could create and could be harmful to your career.
