The Risk of Not Participating

February 24, 2015 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minutes

9629531748_b3df8871df_oAt a social media healthcare conference last week, a physician speaking warned that when posting, think how it could affect your work. I’d turn the question on its head and ask if you don’t post how will that affect your work.

What’s the professional risk of not sharing your ideas?

The original warning reflects our tendency to look at public dialogue only from the perspective of risk and almost never from the perspective of opportunity.
