Using the word "Could" instead of "Should" gets better results!

Here is how it normally goes - You describe a problem during a meeting. Then you ask your team "What should we do?".

"Should" typically limits possibilities. In fact, a?study published?in?Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes?found that "should" usually results in coming up with just two choices, limiting you to an either/or decision.

This is a problem, because as a Harvard?study published?in?Academy of Management Journal?found, using "could" instead of "should" generates a greater number of potential, and better, solutions.

Why? "Should" feels like something you have to do. "Could" opens things up. "Could" implies you haven't narrowed the solution set to a few choices, implying unlimited possibilities.

"Could" feels like something you?get?to do.

As the?researchers write:

1. Considering what one could do shifts people from analyzing and weighing what they assume to be fixed and mutually exclusive alternatives to generating options that might reconcile underlying imperatives. Having a could mindset helps individuals engage in divergent thinking.
2. [And] in group contexts, we find that adopting a could mindset encouraged individuals to spend more time discussing these dilemmas and generating more ideas.

The next time you encounter a problem, don't think, "What should I do?" And definitely don't ask, "What should we do?"

Just state the problem and ask, "What?could?we do?"

You'll get much better input.
