Cubicle Culture: How brainstorming works best

Cubicle Culture: How brainstorming works best: "In fact, great brainstorming sessions are possible, but they require the planning of a state dinner, plenty of rules, and the suspension of ego, ingratiation and political railroading. Hosts have to hope that people won't expend creative energy trying to tell others their ideas are bad without actually telling them that -- admittedly a real business skill. And they have to cross their fingers that the session won't deteriorate into what some people call 'blamestorming' or 'coblabberation,' where you get nowhere or settle on something mediocre to be done with it."
