I think that's, on its face, that's excellent advice. The thing that most of us do instinctively though is we ask the wrong people. Our friends, colleagues who are trusted, they tend to be people who are a lot like us, demographically, in background, in attitude, in values. And, you know, there are really three kinds of people you can get advice from.

You can get advice from people who you really like, who you trust, who are often a mirror image of yourself in certain important ways. And the simpatico that you feel with them, the connection you feel with them is a good thing in every respect except if you're trying to find something new and creative and different and to get unstuck.

So you can start with them, but you also have to think of the other two kinds of people. One of those is known as a non-redundant person. This is just someone whose ideas are different from your own. They don't have to be wildly different or in opposition, but they're just different in some respect.

There's a lot of evidence, for example, that in the creation of TV shows, there's some work that was done on the TV show Doctor Who, which is the longest running TV show of all time. It began in, I think, the 50s or 60s.

that when the team that was working on each episode of Doctor Who involved people who didn't know each other or who'd never worked together or who were otherwise non-redundant, in other words, they had different backgrounds, those episodes were rated by fans of the show as by far the most innovative, interesting, and memorable.

you're looking for people who are non-redundant but then the third thing you're looking for is to go even one step further and that's to find deliberate black sheep these are people who go against the grain and pixar has a number of executives who use this approach so they'll assemble a team of writers of artists of cartoonists and so on and then they'll go out and find someone who disagrees with the way that team is functioning and they'll bring them in and they'll say all right cat amongst the pigeons

Be our agent of chaos and tell us what we should be doing completely differently. And it's been really, really effective. In fact, a lot of their Academy Awards have come on the back of these films that have been created with the help of this black sheep, someone who's talented but basically disagrees with the rest of the team.

That's a really important clarification point that essentially before you begin, you want to slow down, you want to take a pause. And that could be for all sorts of different reasons.
