Do Something About It ! ( on Business) Everyday, i deal with dozens of issues which I feel that the person I am talking to is merely passing on information. I have meant to write a blog that a person's worth in the company (and his stature in life) would be much more if instead of just relaying the facts, he does something about it, but an article in businessweek beat me to it. Liz Ryan has written a great article on it and I quote some passages: - Many managers think responsibility ends when they have tell someone else about a problem. Without action, talk is just a waste of breath . - How often do we see businesspeople passing on information as if their role is to be a postal carrier, when what's needed is not only information, but a commitment to action? - If you simply pass on information without inserting yourself -- here's what I heard, and here's how it affects us, and here's how I'm managing the situation -- you aren't adding any value. When large employers shed layers of management back in the '80s, this is what they were getting rid of: people whose chief responsibilities were to pass information to and fro, without having much other impact. - People who make a difference aren't merely letter carriers. They jump in to make things work better, move faster. And when they speak, they say what they mean and own it. I guess this would be trite already but information alone is not power. Information acted upon to good effect IS the REAL Power. BUT THERE HAS TO BE ACTION! 1:37:26 PM comment [] trackback []
