The New IP: Information Productivity | Thin Difference | Leading Choices | Scoop.it

Information Productivity means we need to absorb a lot of information and then convert it into actionable steps. This is leading in an information access age.

 

The Model Steps

 

Absorb. We absorb information we read, hear, and view. As we take it in, our mind picks the data up and begins a thought process.

 

Convert. Converting information into actions is a critical step. While some information may be just for our consideration, some will require a plan.

 

Act. After we have converted the information into actionable steps, we then need to, well, act! We do things with the information learned and the points outlined.

 

Learn. Through the process, we learn. We learn what works and what doesn’t. From this, we begin the cycle again.

 

Without a process, information absorption leads to unproductive use of time. We become inert.

It’s nauseating to hear – someone soft-shoe dancing around an issue because they’re afraid of hurting someone’s feelings. They do so because they might receive negative feedback in a 360 review that they were abrupt or too direct in delivering feedback on that issue. So rather than going the direct route, they water down their message until it’s a mealy mouthed blathering stream of meaningless crap (yes, I’m fired up as I’m writing this).

 

Let me ask you this – do you want to follow a “leader” who doesn’t speak his or her mind? Someone who is more concerned with how their actions will be perceived rather than saying what they really think? Do you want to follow a leader who is more interested in doing nothing wrong (and hence not doing much of anything) or would you rather follow someone who takes a stand for what they believe in and suffers the consequences as appropriate?
