Silence and management - series of blog texts


Silence and management - series of blog texts

Silence and management is a series of blog texts which examine issues relating to sharing and active collaboration within organization and in different networks.

Sharing and maximal use of social media tools throughout organizations is a vital topic in year 2014. Ability to share, connect and think together are crucial success factors for organizations and also for individuals. At the same time silence is also an unavoidable part of all organizational life. It is proposed here that deeper understanding of silence creates a more rounded understanding how sharing could be nurtured.

This blog starts by table of contents. Then there is a part which connects the table of contents to the published blogs. In this series already 8 texts have been published.
