In His Own Words – Victim Part 2

Hi Everyone,

I realize this may not be a comfortable subject and certainly not
politically correct but allow me to rand for a short time on the power of
Open Access.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is
done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the
sun.”
- Ecclesiastes 1:9

 
As most of you know I am a big believer in open access or the sharing of
ideas, thoughts, intellectual capital, material, papers etc. Over the
past five years of this group I have sent countless articles, papers and
many of my own training modules, simulations, exercises etc. When will
the training/coaching/consulting/academic communities wake up and realize
this is the information age? Information is to be shared.  ITS CALLED
MIND VIRUSES… we MUST wake up and understand our little small
insignificant contributions to this big universe is but a dew drop. Any
added or shared technologies brings power to all. By sharing…massive
sharing we build our own name BRAND.

I have been disagreements over the years those that desire and have a 
belief in sharing and seeking material are bad people, plagiarists,
thieves and the such. Most disagreements come from those who have 2-4
good ideas and have not come up with anything new in years and so they
protect their precious few ideas…I guess I would too is I only had a
few. This list and some on this list have been rebuked and ridiculed for
sharing valuable information that could assist others in our professions
of developing human and corporate intelligence. However, these
disagreements are not limited to the small group of coaches and trainers
and consultants. This is a massive international movement away from
hoarding information. This movement believes that this hoarding mentality
harms the protection of research and development…now that is a doozie
of a statement, huh? But, Without the sharing of information, R&D,
methods, processes and models, a duplication of ideologies arises. More
work and brain power is depleted.
