CTO Vision: Adm. Stavridis: Think, Read, Write and Publish, and Blog Too
He went on to say that govies should: “Get out there in the blogs. I’ll see you in the blogosphere,” he stated. He also emphasized that writing doesn’t have to be long articles. Anyone can start by writing a short response in a blog. “Start small and think big.”
The activities of thinking, reading, writing and publishing are all important. I was a very bad writer and generally could not put my thoughts into words. However, blogging changed all that. If you want to learn more, blog.
Take this website. During my MBA I realised that I needed to understand how business can work better in sustainability/environmental area. I took up some courses, read books, read stuff online, used some ideas in my job, however, when I actually started blogging here everything changed.
I understand the subject better. The content needed to be summarised, linked to articles/sources, a structure was needed (like categories), I had to find interesting ideas to blog (more information and reading), comments from readers helped (new perspectives), I made new connections and networking (always useful) and I learnt a lot about the subject matter.
So, if you are thinking about blogging, start now. If you need a bit of help to get started, do contact me!
