Some of these can I can and have identified with over time are:

  • We tried that before.
  • We don’t have the authority.
  • That’s not our problem.
  • I’m not saying you’re wrong but…
  • It isn’t in the budget.
  • It’s never been tried.
  • It can’t be done.
  • It’s too much trouble to change.
  • It’s impossible.
  • If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

What do you identify with? Do you have any other phrases that you feel kill creativity besides these?
