Giving it a little bit of "LIP"


One way to learn about Poweromics is to look around us everyday - and to give it a little bit of "LIP" ...

i.e. look at what others are doing (e.g. your boss, company, service provider, government, politicians, media ...) and ask whether you see ...

L - Leanomics 
I  - Ignoromics  or
P - Poweromics  ...

To help I've provided definitions of each one below:  

Leanomics = People taking responsibility for adding value and continuously improving the situation for others (e.g. customers, communities, overall environment), based upon fundamental values such as trust, honor, responsibility and respect.

Ignoromics = People are either effectively ignorant of the situation (e.g. the overall environment) or not prepared to take responsibility to make sure it changes for the better.

Poweromics = People using position and power for their own personal gain, based on poor moral values, self interest and greed.


'Leanomics' stands alone, but 'Poweromics' needs 'Ignoromics' around it to prosper ... 

Why not do this for a week and see what you find ... and if you don't like want you see ... do something about it (e.g. tell others about this blog) ... 'Ignoromics' is a pandemic far worse than "Swine Flu" ... but unlike Swine Flu, it's a disease all around us already ...
