This is a valid point, and we should deffinately pay attention to experts, but it does not take into account the cumulative knowledge, experience, innovation, and ability to collectively think out of the box when you aggregate thousands or hundreds of thousands if they are willing and able to have an open and respectfull discussion. Yes experts have much knowledge, but often this knowledge is then used by decission makers and they make the wrong decissions. During covid we saw this time and time again, experts made advise and informed politicians, politicians made very bad policies, and the people in turn informed them through public discourse why the policies were wrong and the policies could be revised when there was not too much prestiege behind the original decission. This inckuded decissions about face masks, closing down schools, making people stay home instead of being allowed to stay in their cabin in the woods, and not prioritizing vaccines for teachers high enough, and even the lack of privacy in poorely implemented apps for infection tracking. You can make informed analysis based on research and papers and analysing facts, without beeing an expert on that exact field. A large hive of informed people can also make a large contribution by ideating, making hypothesis, critiquing, and coming up with solutions that the experts would take a long time to come up with with, and through effective filtering of these ideas the experts have some golden nuggets to analyse and try out or do experiments on. But yes, of course you should put high weight/faith on the advice made by imunologists when in a crisis. Still, where I live the two leading imunologists operating 320 (US) miles appart, took radically opposing routes to handle the situation. That tells you it is often smart to err on the side of caution when lives are at stake. At the sam time, another renowned imunologist predicted the near oblitteraion of the entire population. She did not have the ability to look outside pure numbers and look at differences in population density, travel, movement and other factors. One of the leading sources of updated information to many descission makers in a hectic period in the early stages ended up being an aggregation of information grouped together by regular people, with regular jobs, but who was experts at organizing, reading and sumarizing without changing the information to their views. But yes, 1 expert vs 1 regular person, I’ll go with the expert. 1 expert and 2.000 people against 800.000 people, I think I will make my own balanced decission somewhere in between, after educating myself on the next topic we get challenged by... Imunology, radioactive fallout, project (miss)management, meassuring (and destroying) developer productivity, competing agile practices, education, care for elders, health care... You bring it and prove me wrong, no matter what challenge you give me I will give you at least 5 possible paths to improvement...

Having a strong personal brand is a benefit for the company.

Happy Wednesday LinkedIn friends! I leave you with this quote that really made me think this morning, and it led me to do some quick research about defining personal brands within the workplace. I will leave this article here that has some insightful information: https://lnkd.in/geCGZC4h "Often, we confuse our reputation with our personal brand. But the two are not one and the same. Everyone has a reputation. The first impressions you make, the relationships you form with managers and peers, and how you communicate — all of these things impact how others see you. For instance, if you ask your colleagues to describe you, they might say you’re a warm person who’s easy to collaborate with. Some might say that you occasionally run late to meetings but are great at prioritizing tasks. Your reputation is made up of the opinions and beliefs people form about you based on your collective actions and behaviors. Your personal brand, on the other hand, is much more intentional. It is how you want people to see you. Whereas reputation is about credibility, your personal brand is about visibility and the values that you outwardly represent." Do you consider yourself to have a strong personal brand? Better yet, who do you think of in your local community as having a strong personal brand? Share below! 🙂

* Leadership and Personal Branding - is your strong personal brand presence creating value for your company and driving improvement in organizational effectiveness?* Be a leader. Be ready to show up every day and lead with your unique personal brand story! Show up online, show up offline, show up internally and show up externally. Personal branding is personal, and it should start from looking inward/within. Make it personal as if it was your company and build that brand until it starts creating value for the business and for yourself everywhere you go. Don’t be afraid to embrace you. Don’t be afraid of being judged. 🟡 Don’t be afraid of daring to lead with your unique personal brand story. Your uniqueness brings diversity that is a great asset for your company. Your company is posting every day and rebranding frequently to stay competitive. How about you?

#intc2610 This is a message for all aspiring and current teachers. Educators make an impact on many lives - not just students. Being able to guide children through the right path and encouraging them to pursue their goals is one of the many actions that a teacher must do. Not only that, but being able to have communication with parents and guardians will also help with a child's success. Collaborating with other school staff will also ensure that all students are being guided through the right path in their education. Although it may not be rainbows and butterflies everyday, it is important to not let negative emotions get in the way of our students receiving a proper education. By being there for our students - both in good and bad times - we will gain their trust. This will also show that they can count on us in any situation they may be in. Building a healthy relationship is what will ensure that our students will be honest with us - and us being honest with them. We are helping shape future generations, guiding students through personal, emotional, and social growth that will follow them throughout their lives.
