More energized? Drained?<br /></li><li>How do you think other people feel after interacting with you?</li></ul>This idea can go far beyond fluffy self-helpy introspection. By asking this sort of questions in an organization, one can map enthusiasm and get a good indication of where energy is high, and creativity and innovation likely to occur.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0470392495">Driving Results Through Social Networks: How Top Organizations Leverage Networks for Performance and Growth</a></span> talks about enthusiasm networks.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">Nothing gets done here without someone somewhere getting enthused about an idea and then enthusing others</span>.<br /></blockquote><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xverges/3573322910/" title="Energizers by -Xv, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3649/3573322910_1a81a8165d.jpg" alt="Energizers" width="400" /></a><br /><br />And, without stopping talking about business, we can get back into self-helpy stuff... The book identifies some behaviours that are perceived as generating positive energy:<br /><ol><li>Do you do what you say are going to do and address tough issues with integrity?</li><li>Do you see realistic possibilities in conversations and avoid focusing too early or heavily on potential obstacles?</li><li>Are you mentally and physically engaged in meetings and conversations?</li><li>Are you flexible in your thinking and do you use your expertise appropriately?</li><li>When you disagree, do you focus on the issue at hand rather than on the individual?<br /></li></ol><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xverges/3572517519/" title="Energy vampires by -Xv, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3302/3572517519_3e7fba8d24.jpg" alt="Energy vampires" width="400" /></a>-Xvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12954073038736466058noreply@blogger.com0
