Editor's Notes
- #3 Initiating a project, a blog, a wikipedia article, a family journey. Initiating something even when you're not actually in charge.At the same time, almost all people believe they are capable of editing, giving feedback or merely criticizing.So finding people to fix your typos is easy.A few people are vandals, happy to anonymously attack or add graffiti or useless noise.If your project depends on individuals to step up and say, "This is what I believe, here is my plan, here is my original thought" then you need to expect that most people will see that offer and decline to take it.Most of the edits on Wikipedia are tiny. Most of the tweets among the billions that go by are reactions or possibly responses, not initiatives. Q&A sites flourish because everyone knows how to ask a question, and many feel empowered to answer it, if it's specific enough. Little tiny steps, not intellectual leaps or risks.I don't think the problem has much to do with the innate ability to initiate. I think it has to do with believing that it's possible and acceptable for you to do it. Most people have been brainwashed into believing that their job is to copyedit the world, not to design it.There's a huge shortage... a shortage of people who will say GO!
