Sometimes the job is just amplifying someone else's idea

Something I'm pretty excited about will launch soon (well, hopefully pretty soon!) What stood out to me on this one was how we decided to do it, and my role in it. My largest contribution to this project, was towards the end of a meeting going "Hey before we run out of time, can we get back to that idea that X had?" We did, and we made the decision to pursue it. It's unlikely this would have happened without me asking that one simple question, and that person's great idea and the enthusiasm with which they then pursued it would have been lost. Increasingly I find the most effective thing I can do in meetings is make sure that everyone's voice is heard and that the right ideas are amplified and pursued.
