If everyone is trying to prevent error, it screws things up.
Creativity doesn't follow titles. It just comes from where it comes from.
If you give a good idea to a mediocre group, they'll screw it up. If you give a mediocre idea to a good group, they'll fix it. Or they'll throw it away and come up with something else.
I actually feel awkward being at the center of attention.
Success hides problems...you don't need to address problems.
You are not your idea, and if you identify too closely with your ideas, you will take offense when they are challenged.
