Mummers – I was one, and they know stage presence

I’m watching the Mummers parade in Philadelphia, featuring wenches, fancy dress, and string bands in elaborate costumes. When the Mummers figure out where the TV cameras are, they flock to them. What’s the learning for you? If you think your visibility is low, then look for the cameras — the most visible ways to record the action — rather than just looking for the highly visible projects. When you figure out where the “cameras” are (the people who inform others, the people who influence, the messaging systems in your organization), then you will be rewarded with visibility, without having to wear a sequined costume or be outside freezing on New Year’s Day.
