The Arena

A friend and co-worker of mine introduced me to this wonderful quote from Theodore Roosevelt. After hearing it enough, I had this scene come to mind. I’ve been experimenting with animation, a medium I think more “knowledge workers” will have to embrace if they want to actually disseminate their knowledge.

I think there are too many knowledge workers who attend meetings all day gathering information. However, very few actually get in the arena and dare speak up. If your primary export as a professional is information, you have a responsibility to figure out how to get that information out in more creative ways than another email and PowerPoint combo.
