Amplified Individuals

I like to introduce the idea of the amplified individuals.

 

Amplified individuals are the new super heroes of organizations. They embraced new tools, applications, practices and social media.

 

 

They have 9 super powers.

 

Mobbability

The ability to work in large groups

A talent for organizing and collaborating with many people simultaneously

 

Influency

The ability to be persuasive in multiple social contexts and media spaces

An understanding that each context and space requires a different persuasive strategy and technique

 

Ping Quotient

Measures your responsiveness to other people’s requests for engagement

Your propensity and ability to reach out to others in a network

 

Protovation

Fearless innovation in rapid, iterative cycles

 

Open Authorship

Creating content for public consumption and modification

 

Multi-Capitalism

Fluency in working with different capitals, e.g., natural, intellectual, social and financial

 

Longbroading

Thinking in terms of higher level systems, cycles, the big picture

 

Signal / Noise Management

Filtering meaningful info, patterns, and commonalities from massively-multiple streams of data

 

Cooperation Radar

The ability to sense, almost intuitively, who would make the best collaborators on a particular task
