Sometimes I post a blog just to call attention to something worth reading. This is one of those times.
Check out this blog post by Henry Brown: Tips for Stranded Evangelists
While you’re at it, check out the great stuff in the GovLoop group that post is part of: Social Networking, Leadership and Innovation in the Applied Setting.
I really like this article. I like to think of the way I am presenting my organization to new ideas is “boiling the frog”. If you turn the temp up just a little at a time, a frog will not jump out of the pot. Anytime I am in a meeting, and I have found something on the internet which pertains to the topic at hand (especially from GOVLOOP), I tell the group. There is always the question, “where did you find that information?” Then I must tell everyone where I found the information. They in turn look up the information, and are hooked on the website where the information came from. (((HEE HEE HEE – one person at a time – “Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated”)))
Thank you Jeff and Henry for this so relevant post. Some days I am just overwhelmed with feeling like I am the only one that gets it. 🙂
