  6. Can you name any originals in our field or with whom you have worked? What experiences do you recall? “By my definition, originality involves introducing and advancing an idea that’s relatively unusual within a particular domain, and that has the potential to improve it.” Question 1

  7. What implications does this book have for how you work with staff you supervise? Question 2

  8. What implications does this book have for how you work with your supervisor? Question 3

  9. What implications does this book have for how you work with your residents? Question 4

  10. The idea of risk, especially in playing it safe in other areas when making a risk, is prevalent in this book. How valid do you believe this concept is? Chapter 1 Question 5

  11. How often do you find yourself taking the time to brainstorm or come up with a variety of ideas before moving forward (ex. Upworthy’s rule that you need to generate 25 headings before striking gold) or using your peers to bounce ideas off of? Chapter 2 Question 6

  12. How have you felt in times in which you were presented a change and immediately shared what the change agent saw as the drawbacks to the presented change? Chapter 3 Question 7

  13. Grant discussed procrastination and putting off creative tasks until you are sleepy as powerful tools. How do you respond to this assertion? Chapter 4 Question 8

  14. Do you have an example of a time from your past experiences or an initiative you are thinking of trying in which you mask your overall purpose and instead ask the individual or group to take a few steps with you before exposing them to the whole picture? Chapter 5 Question 9

  15. How would writing policies that were others focused or in changing our use of verbs to nouns impact the relationships our students have within their community? Chapter 6 Question 10

  16. We often describe “fit” when we interview candidates. What has that looked like on campuses you’ve been on – do you look for individuals that mirror your campus/department or have characteristics you are missing from your team? Chapter 7 Question 11

  17. How comfortable are you receiving critical upward feedback from your staff? What suggestions do you have to make it more comfortable or staff more willing? Chapter 7 Question 12

  18. Keys to creating change included making people not feel alone in their viewpoints, presenting a sense of urgency, and demonstrating the costs of not changing. Chapter 8 Question 13

  19. How often have you had someone call you and ask you to vent? How can you help reframe your conversation so the anger at others can be directed to anger for others so that we don’t want to punish but want to help? Chapter 8 Question 14

  20. Do you see yourself as enjoying the world (or your position) as it is or desiring to temporarily give up some pleasure for the chance to create a better world (or campus/department)? Chapter 8 Question 15
