A little social experiment

I stumbled across a little social experiment on Facebook the other day.
The caption was: “Help me choose the most suitable tiles.” See image below.
Naturally, I clicked in - partly curious, partly wanting my preferred tile validated (No. 1).
But here’s what stopped me: out of 65 comments, there was no clear loser.
Every tile had its fans. Some people were bold and decisive. Others were completely unsure.
A few went totally off-script: “None of them—change the wall colour.”
And that’s the point.
This tiny experiment is a perfect snapshot of how diverse people’s opinions really are.
So why am I sharing it?
Well, because it's Friday. When you’re planning a change and you want people engaged, don’t just offer a single path. Give them options and get them talking.
Restructure? Show four models.
Shift your business model? Same again.
Exploring AI integration? Ask it for four approaches.
We rush too quickly to the answer. Real change happens in the conversation where ideas collide, evolve and improve.
Keep this little experiment in mind next time you’re leading change.
