Kathryn,
You are right! Allowing a freeform of ideas in a safe environment enables everybody to be creative. A good manager or team leader needs to be able to help channel or compartmentalize great ideas into actionable ones – since that is the goal of collaborating on projects. If you were a manager and you had a team of motivated folks who all wanted their ideas to be utilized, how would you prioritize them without squashing their spirits?
