These prove to be some of the biggest challenges when working with companies that have old-school leadership and are set in their corporate mindset. They can't understand that letting go control is what will, in the end, truly let them go...forward. Consensus is also a stumbling block. We were talking last week about the need for consensus. If you must always have it, you'll remain at a stalemate and it will stall momentum. “Enabled to lead” and “empowered” are key points here.

This is something often LOLed about at conferences I have attended. Strangely, now that India is slowly getting online, I've been amazed that they are not learning from the mistakes made by their American predecessors (and again -- apparently -- many/most website management is left to computer / IT departments). Looking ahead in time, I think you need to think about billions of websites / communities (and of course the <b>premier</b> sites will be those that follow the <a href="http://gaggle.info/miscellaneous/articles/wisdom-of-the-language" rel="nofollow">Wisdom of the Language</a>)... and this means that many/most sites will be managed by only a single person (e.g. thekmiecs.com ;). In this "future" world (actually, it's already starting to become the <i>present</i> world, people will flock to ideas as the "community" (this has started with "hotels", "cars",... -- and now "twitter", etc.) Personal / Brand websites will be the individuals (representing themselves -- and/or simply being the address/telephone number where it's possible to be "reached at"). The social interaction will increasingly take place in channels that are part+parcel of the corresponding community's language. :) nmw Did you know that in the early days of the Internet, most websites were managed — completely — by IT departments.
