# ⭐️ Invent and Simplify

{% hint style="success" %}
Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify. They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by “not invented here”. As we do new things, we accept that we may be misunderstood for long periods of time.
{% endhint %}

這個信條分成兩個部分，第一個要表現的是自己的解決問題的能力，當遇到問題的時候怎麼解決？有沒有有創意的解決辦法？如果沒有的話，也可以用別人的方法試試看，又或是我們解決了一個問題後，是不是存在著另一個解決的方法？因為永遠都有可能會有一個更好的解決辦法。

第二個部分是有沒有辦法把想解決的問題盡量簡化？像是一個原則：[KISS principle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) 。「Keep it simple, stupid。」*「總結工程專業人員在設計過程中的經驗，大多數系統的設計應保持簡潔和單純，而不摻入非必要的複雜性，這樣的系統運作成效會取得最優；因此簡單性應該是設計中的關鍵目標，儘量迴避免不必要的複雜性。」*
