As my grad school advisor reminded us often, always encourage your employees to be inventive and productive, even if they are not always successful. Out of mistakes great products can arise. One product I think we have all used at one time or another and most have on our desks was first considered a product failure, the product the Post It notes. 3M found the product had a use and encouraged the employee to investigate further, and now Post it notes are an office staple.
Let your employees explore their talents a bit, you never know when a great product or idea will come about.
