The power of the mass - believe in education companies

Right now to Carnival see again on all the television or here in North Rhine-Westphalia, live and in color on many roads in the best case omitted swaying and singing, but usually drunk and babbling in unison, at worst bawling people. Pinches you in passing along his eyes a little, so that blurs the image, and does not on every single sound, one has the sense of hearing instead of voices loud sound of the sea and to actually see one or the other wave in the swirling mass. mass is the key word. Carnival and honest officials, reputable seller, doctors and representatives from other professional groups are in selected locations, such as ceremonial meetings, together and suddenly become "ONE .

• one in the clothes: according to the motto - who has the most original costume = ugliest
• one in thought and action: laughter to tears the diaphragm, drinking on strike to the liver, senseless songs to sing along to the neighbors eardrum burst.

like to propose that the German views about the severity, is well known. But in the anonymity of Carnival, camouflaged by blödoide panels, we can really get out of the sow. Since no one knows us, we lost in the crowd, and sometimes with no more black ... or white - everything is gray . Yes gray - because after Carnival begins the dreary Lent and Easter all flesh that is to avoid (Latin carne vale of Abschiedsruf "live meat well."). So at least the religious, historical background.

see my words that I'm not a carnival tradition. Although I like "candy" for the rest I can not (yet?) Do not heat. Despite my ambilvalenten attitude I came in a quiet moment of reflection to the following realization: Between Carnival and the way how to communicate in business, there are certain parallels.

• There are two Cases usually have a opinion leader or a group with leadership. Carnival and the triumvirate (virgin, prince and farmer), in companies such as the manager.
• The triumvirate orders organized gaiety, the manager sets the objectives for the next year.
• The inclined carnival tradition, follows the call of his trio, singing and drinking - well ... we've done that. The staff brought out in itself, does his best to achieve the set goals.

And here is entering from a psychological point of view to interesting effect. We humans can namely like lead or deceive. Incidentally, I'm not a fan of "Millionaire." Nevertheless, the show has for years been very successful. Shall I tell you the secret of success. You, the audience put themselves automatically into the role of the guessers and there is still an important aspect to bear. You have to the game not really thinking. The correct answer is as guaranteed. You just need to know whether A, B, C or D. And just in case you just follow the opinion of the public (Masse!) or intellectually superior phone Jokers. We are educated as children to this conformist behavior. "Match up with - is part of the whole - does not conflict "

Why should" be at work "differently. Someone sets the road map and we started running. Goes wrong, the thing was nobody to blame and everybody wants to have known all along how it could have done better. When asked why the "know-alls" have not brought his concerns from the outset to express to get most of the answer but no one listens to me. "Sometimes it but are just colleagues, the single" Revolutzer "discipline again. "Match up with - otherwise we run the risk with you still go under." Already Management by mushrooms: The first to put his head out of the earth, is pelted with mud or cut off.

I notice, I actually wanted to refer the issue of power of the mass to something else. Well, sometimes I'm not the master of my thoughts.

The problems described above are also reflected in new forms of communication such as wikis, blogs and podcasts, that is user-generated content. Who says that the information on Wikipedia are correct? However, hardly any user the information in this database is critically examined, with the exception of some attention-needy "alls" - deliberately I am moving. It just consumed. Must be true! Control takes too long. One may for the information from Wikipedia unlikely to lead to problems because it is a universal encyclopedia. But what happens when a company implements a wiki solution in which the expertise of engineers and best-practices to store sales staff. Who will secure the quality of information? An overriding objective team of experts? (Control / governance). Rare. This is contrary to the spirit of social computing. In my experience, the wins, the first thing an information produced - the first mover. Whether right near correct, incomplete or incorrect, the consumers of this information will assume that the author made no mistakes, yes - is omniscient. And with the use of information can sometimes even the wrong thing to be declared to be correct = Self-fulfilling Prophecy .

PS: There was a time in Germany, where Jews have been referred to as dirty. She was locked in ghettos, shot her misery and the rest of the population showed the pictures as a deterrent. Yes - Jews are dirty. Like this Back then many thought. Hardly anyone wanted to know the truth. Died by millions.
