Program Highlights from the April 18 program
Robert L. Dilenschneider, a world-renowned communications expert, has spent more than four decades advising hundreds of companies and prominent individuals. His new book, “Power and Influence: The Rules Have Changed,” is being published in July by McGraw Hill. On April 18, Dilenschneider shared the book’s subject matter: 10 principles for surviving and thriving in a fast moving, technology driven global environment.
- Accept, adapt and accelerate – or atrophy. Denial of technical realities may mean losing your job.
- Be prepared to start – over and over again. Attitude trumps resumé.
- Think innovatively – forget about just keeping up. Know enough about technical developments to figure out what’s a must-learn.
- Seize the opportunity in every crisis. The more turbulence, the more opportunity.
- Look beyond the new rules to connect. Information flows so fast that you become irrelevant if you continue to do things the old way.
- Take the heat and never compromise. Personal attacks have skyrocketed in the blogosphere and chat forums. What really matters is how you handle them.
- Focus on your strengths. Stay out of a game that’s moving too fast.
- Keep growing your network by shaving it. Pay special attention on people who are “players” in their field.
- Seek acclaim, but practice humility. The best way to wield power is not to brag about it.
- Search for power, but never forget to share it. Foster good will, fund good deeds and further the aspirations of others.
