Leading Actions Off And Online
by Miki Saxon
A recent discussion on LinkedInBloggers (check it out) started around a WSJ Online article about disconnecting from people in an online network and migrated to online behavior. Paul Chaney sent a link to an article he’d written that’s a good guide on what to do and not do.
So, what does all this have to do with leadership, establishing better communications with those around you and living a productive, happy life?
It turns out that the actions and MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™) needed to create great online networks is the same that’s been needed for all positive human interactions since cavemen tried grunting instead of always using their clubs.
Long before Christianity every major religion had some version of the Golden Rule; Dale Carnegie detailed the actions needed to put it into practice in the business world.
In fact, the only things that keep changing are the words used to describe the MAP and resulting actions.
So the question really is, if this stuff has been around forever why is it still being explained, advocated, recommended, written about and taught?
Why isn’t it just being done?
