Suggestions on liberating control freaks ...

Organizational change is difficult no matter what type of business you are in. In my stumblings the other day, I ran accross this simple slideshow that talks about the power of building collaboration, being the elephant in the room and working within the walls to create change.

Over the past weekend at ALA, I know I spoke to at least two young professionals who felt stiffled by either IT or library management staff who supported blocking access to several social network tools. If you're in the same boat, perhaps this short slideshow offers up some suggestions on how to liberate your control freaks.



If anything, it's easy to see after viewing this that there is a lack of knowledge about what these tools offer (in collboration, communication & productivitiy) that is shared by many organizations.
