The Choice Is Yours: Remote Worker or Virtual Organization Leader?

The New Virtual Organization World

It's a New Principled and Civilized World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized


Remote Worker or Virtual Organization Leader





Let's face it, ask any Corporate Executive,  Academic or Government Official, "What is the difference between a Remote Worker, Telecommuter, Flexible Worker, Digital Worker, Virtual Employee, Virtual Team Member,  A Virtual Organization, Virtual Organization Leader, Virtual Organization Executive, Virtual Organization Leadership Executive, and Virtual Organization Leadership Force Executive?"  their answer would be, "I don't really have a clue, beats the hell out of me, your guess is as good as mine."

However, for anyone who is familiar with the virtual organization management discipline, the first thing which comes to mind is Cowboys and Gunslingers,  The Military,  Enlisted Soldiers, Commissioned Officers (trained at a Military Academy),  Commanding Officers,  and Commanding Generals.
  • Cowboys and Gunslingers ::   Remote Worker, Telecommuter, Flexible Worker, Digital Worker, Virtual Employee, Virtual Team Member
They live in a World of Virtual Chaos and operate by the seat of their pants and are notorious for just winging it.  A very disorganized bunch.  In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.  They don't have a clue as to what the hell a Virtual Organization is and they don't care to know either.   A veritable army of  "doing the best I can under the circumstances," fakes, hucksters, clowns, charlatans and impostors pretending to be "Virtual Organization Consultants, Trainers, Experts, Leaders and Executives."
  • The Military ::    A Virtual Organization 
It consists of the following:  Virtual Organization Leader, Virtual Organization Executive, Virtual Organization Leadership Executive, and Virtual Organization Leadership Force Executive. 
  • Enlisted Soldiers ::  Virtual Organization Leader
They are trained by Virtual Organization Executives or Virtual Organization Leadership Executives within their virtual organization unit or department.   They are primarily engaged in Collaboration activities. 
  • Commissioned Officers ::   Virtual Organization Executive
In collaboration with either Virtual Organization Management Institute or Virtual Organization Leadership, they receive their formal Virtual Organization Leadership Executive Training, Assessment and Certification at VOMI Virtual Organization Academy.  
A Virtual Organization Executive is primarily responsible for the training and supervision of Virtual Organization Leaders within his virtual organization unit or department.   
  • Commanding Officers ::  Virtual Organization Leadership Executive
Virtual Organization Executives who have been awarded the Virtual Organization Leadership Executive Award by VOMI Virtual Organization Academy for outstanding performance are also awarded by Virtual Organization Leadership the formal Virtual Organization Leadership Executive designation.   
A Virtual Organization Leadership Executive has ultimate responsibility for a virtual organization unit or department consisting strictly of Virtual Organization Leaders and Virtual Organization Executives.     
  • Commanding Generals ::  Virtual Organization Leadership Force Executive 
A Virtual Organization Leadership Force Executive has ultimate responsibility for an entire Virtual Organization Leadership Force:   A Virtual Organization consisting strictly of Virtual Organization Leaders, Virtual Organization Executives, and Virtual Organization Leadership Executives.     
    A Virtual Organization Leadership Force Executive is required to participate in the Chief Virtual Organization Architect (CVOA2-Year Program at Virtual Organization Management Institute -  an advanced virtual organization leadership training program for virtual organization leadership executives who are entrusted with the responsibility to  LEAD an entire virtual organization.  
    Final Takeaway From This Quick Clarification


    Remote Workforce is a Disaster In the making
    The bottom line is this:
      All this hoopla and pure nonsense about Remote Worker :: The Future of the Workplace ::  The Workplace of the Future ::  everybody getting on the bandwagon about "Virtual Events" ::  and investors all of a sudden seeing the wisdom of  funding Videoconferencing Solution and Cloud Collaboration Tool  Providers is nothing but a lot of crap and the result of a bunch of  "Opportunists" and Virtually-Disoriented Corporate Executives who have been caught flat-footed by a "potentially manufactured or real" global pandemic crisis due to sheer incompetence, blindness, willful ignorance, and downright stupidity.   
    Yes, I am talking about you - it's the truth, and I don't really care if you are offended.  The point being, I have spent the last 20 years  :: and quite  aggressively over the past 10 years  ::  evangelizing directly to Forbes Global 2000 Executives and Global 5000 Executives and Governments on the need for Virtual Organizations - NOT Remote Workers - in order to effectively respond to crises  pertaining to both Business Continuity of Operations and Government Continuity of Operations in a virtual organization environment.   Therefore, they can't claim ignorance, getting blindsided, or being caught flat-footed due to events beyond their control.   Myopia is more like it!
     
    All this bullshit you have heard over the past couple of months about "polls and studies" which indicate that "workers are more productive" and "more fulfilled" and leading happier lives working from home is laughable and  nothing but sheer hype.  And that employers are beginning to realize the benefit of having employees "who are able to work where they are" is nothing but pure rubbish, malarkey and recruitment marketing for "idiots" who don't know any better. 
    Trying to manage Remote Workers is the equivalent of trying to herd cats - good luck with that!   
    We've already been there and done that.   This romantic notion is pure, unadulterated fiction for those who don't know a damn thing about leadership in either  a virtual or virtual organization environment and impostors.   We have not only gone down that road but have also analyzed it over a 25 year-period and I already know what the outcome is going to be.   Thus the reason why I founded the virtual organization management discipline back in 1997.   In fact, I come across these "willfully ignorant" types just about every single day due to their mistaken belief  that Virtual Organization Management Institute is somehow involved in training "Remote Workers" since they don't know any better and refuse to take the time to learn.    

    Remote Worker Initiative Prediction

    Remote Worker Frenzy
    This Remote Worker frenzy will result in nothing but Virtual Chaos.    In turn, this Virtual Chaos will open up a real can of worms and unleash a real Circus and Carnival.   

    Get ready to be entertained by a horde of so-called Remote Workforce Experts, Remote Workforce Pioneers, World-Renowned Remote Workforce Speakers (with a PhD in ?? Remote attached to their name - don't laugh!)Remote  Workforce Executive Coaches,  Remote Workforce Trainers with over 40 years of experience (don't laugh!)Remote Workforce Gurus, Remote Workforce Psychologists, etc. :: who will be doling out advice on social media and mainstream media on How to Keep the Remote Workforce Healthy, Safe, Secure, Engaged and Motivated :: as well as try to peddle their next potential bestseller book.        
    There will be all sorts of sensational horror stories and anecdotal evidence about Remote Worker Misconduct, Loss of Productivity, Criminal Mischief,  Misappropriation of Company Documents and Other Assets, and Theft of Intellectual Property.
    There will also be a huge public outcry for Remote Worker Class-Action Lawsuits as well as Remote Worker Protection Legislation and Subject Matter Expert testimony in Congress on the need to address Remote Worker Rights, Remote Workforce Trauma,  Remote Workforce Exploitation, Fair Compensation for Remote Workers, Liability Insurance for Remote Worker Misconduct,  Indemnification of Employer from Wrongful Acts Committed by Remote Workers, etc.

    These clowns, miscreants, opportunists and the ill-informed who are pushing this Remote Worker Initiative have absolutely no idea that they are in fact opening a can of worms that will lead to devastating consequences for both employer and remote workforce employees.     

    Your Free Introduction to Virtual Organization Management Is Over

    Now that you have just obtained a Free Education  on the difference between a Remote Workforce and a Virtual Organization Leadership Force, you can no longer claim ignorance and confusion.  

    Therefore, you should now be able to answer the original question placed to you:  Will it be Remote Workers or Virtual Organization Leaders?      (Would you rather team up with a bunch of Cowboys and Gunslingers or The Military?)   The choice is yours!

    In Conclusion

    If you represent a Global Enterprise of over 25,000 employees or Government which currently has a significant Remote Workforce of over 1000 employees;  and you would like to Transform your Remote Workforce into a highly disciplined Virtual Organization Leadership Force OR  Build a Virtual Organization from scratch;  then Virtual Organization Management Institute is the world's leading and only virtual organization institute  which is able to accommodate your organization or government. (Click here for more info.)  
    The founder of Virtual Organization Management Institute is also the founder of the virtual organization management discipline pioneered since 1997.
    On the other hand, if you represent a Global Enterprise or Government and just want to Build a Virtual Organization  from scratch, then Virtual Organization Leadership  is the world's leading and only virtual organization leadership firm.    (Click here for more info.)

    Blueprint For A Thoughtful And Dignified Layoff

    The New Virtual Organization World

    It's a New Principled and Civilized World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized


    Blueprint for a Thoughtful and Dignified Layoff





    Let's face it, layoffs are a fact of life as companies are forced to adapt to events and changes in the global economy and the marketplace.  

    As well, much has been written in the past about the best way for organizations to deal with such layoffs.  Therefore, I will avoid the temptation of trying to go down that same rabbit hole.

    Instead I propose that your organization adopt a very different and counter intuitive approach:  Make one final investment in your most loyal, high performance employees which is designed to reap significant dividends to your organization for as long as it remains an ongoing concern.

    Your Most Loyal, High Performance Employees

    The question you will then have to wrestle with is, "What objective criteria should we use in order to fairly and accurately describe our most loyal, high performance employees?"   In which case, a consensus will need to be reached on the definition of "most loyal."  

    For example, does "most loyal" mean:
    • Someone who will do whatever it takes: lie, cheat, steal, and whatever else it takes - in order to advance the company's agenda?   
    • Someone who believes in "the ends justify the means" when it comes to creating shareholder value?  
    • Someone who places the company's needs above his own personal, family and community needs - "the real company man"? 
    • Someone who has been instrumental in consistently generating a significant amount of revenues for your organization at the expense of sowing bitterness and division within the ranks?
    • Someone who has been instrumental in consistently generating a significant amount of revenues for your organization at the expense of defrauding your customers and/or causing a significant amount of  (known or undisclosed) harm to the general public?
    • Someone who has been instrumental in consistently generating a significant amount of revenues for your organization at the expense of generating a significant amount of  (justified or malicious) blowback from regulators or nefarious forces?
    • Someone who is firmly ensconced in the grapevine (a master tattletale)  who regularly keeps you informed on the activities of everyone within the upper echelons of your organization?
    • Someone with a lot of influential connections that your company has relied upon in order "to fix things or get things done" when external problems arise?
    I asked the foregoing questions for the simple reason that, at one point or another during my 48-year professional career, I have personally encountered all of the above whom I mistakenly thought were "most loyal" to some organization - including my own.    
    Yet today, this very minute and second as you read this, I consider them all to have been "most harmful" to their organization and mine.   Today,  my definition of  "most loyal" is someone who is "principled" and subscribes to the supreme a priori ethical codeDo unto others as you would have them do unto you.   That is all! 
    And believe it or not, trying to find such individuals in today's day and age is the equivalent of "looking for a needle in a haystack."
    As you can see, being "most loyal" is in the eye of the beholder and depends on the time and place and circumstance.    Thus the reason why a consensus is needed in order to decide on the meaning of "most loyal."

    This Final Investment 

    Investment In the Future
    So what is this final investment?   The answer is too simple to grasp but nonetheless here it is:  In addition to your organization's standard employee severance package,  offer them: 

    An additional 3-Month Compensation, plus

    A fully-paid "Virtual Organization Leadership Executive Training, Assessment and Certification" solution sponsored by your organization.   (It's a 90-calendar day training program.)

    Why the additional 3-month compensation.   The additional compensation is designed to cover the length of time that your (to be laid-off) employee will participate in the foregoing fully-paid  Virtual  Organization Leadership Executive Training, Assessment and Certification program.   

    During that time period, your employee will no longer have access to any company premises, data and resources;  and will strictly report to their trainer at Virtual Organization Leadership,  the solution provider.

    Disbursement method for the additional 3-month compensation.   No different than for any other company employee.  Employee remains on company payroll and is paid in accordance with standard payroll policies, practices and procedures.

    The net effect of the additional 3-month compensation is to postpone the effective date of termination as well as the processing and distribution of the Official Employee Severance Package.    Although the employee will no longer gain access to company premises, data and resources during the training period at Virtual Organization Leadership, the compensation will delay the time that the employee can officially apply for and collect  "unemployment benefits."    

    For one simple reason:  For the most part, in order to be eligible to collect unemployment benefits, you must be actively looking for work and be available to work, unless you are participating in some state-approved  employment training program.    Therefore, this relieves the soon-to-be laid off  employee from the burden associated with participation in the virtual organization leadership training program.    

    What happens if the employee fails to participate in the Virtual Organization Leadership Executive Training, Assessment and Certification program?    Virtual Organization Leadership has a moral and fiduciary  obligation to certify on a weekly basis the attendance of each program participant (who will officially be terminated by their employer at the end of the program) as well as provide a final performance report.  
    At which point,  your organization can cease any additional weekly or bi-weekly payroll disbursements; expedite the effective date of termination; and prepare an Official Severance Package for this employee.        
    Why not include the entire additional 3-month compensation in the lump-sum employee  severance package and get it over with?   The danger to that approach is that your  (technically) laid-off employee may soon secure new employment much faster than anticipated (e.g., within a couple of days or weeks) and thus have no choice but to walk away from the 90-Day Virtual Organization Leadership training program.
       
    In such a situation, it would be extremely difficult for your organization to initiate or activate any crawl back provision (if any) of the additional 3-month compensation that is included in the lump-sum severance package.   So, why complicate matters?

    Lifetime Dividends to Laid-Off Employee

    Regardless of the field or industry, here is the precious gift that you have just given to a (technically) laid-off employee:     
    An opportunity to become part of a new breed of Virtual Organization Leaders who have been highly trained in all aspects of how to function, operate, thrive, excel, manage and LEAD in both a "Virtual" and  "Virtual Organization" Environment in accordance with the virtual organization management discipline pioneered by its founder since 1997.
    Virtual Organization Leaders who will live and breathe in a 100% Virtual Organization Environment and form the backbone of an organization's Virtual Organization Leadership Force operating across the globe and able to respond instantly to any Continuity Of Operations Plan scenario (e.g., Pandemics, Natural Disasters, Ransomware Attacks, Attacks on Critical Virtual and Physical Infrastructures, Terror Attacks on Corporate Personnel, etc.)     
    (See Antidote tRansomware Attacks: A Virtual Organization COOP Force :: and :: IYour COOP Strategy Out oDate Or “We’ll Cross That Bridge When WGet  There”?  for details.)       
    Virtual Organization Leadershipin partnership with VOMI (Virtual Organization Management Institute) and VOMI Virtual Organization Academy, is the ONLY  organization in the world which offers - and is qualified to offer - such virtual organization leadership training and certification. 
    Please note I am not talking about "Remote Worker" training or consulting for remote employees.  It's like trying to compare a kindergarten program with a PhD program or apples with oranges. 

    The bottom line is this:   With this training program, you have just introduced your laid-off employees to a World of Virtual Organizations  we are all headed toward, whether we want to or not ::  The New Virtual Organization World.  It's not a matter of if, but when, we will all get there!

    In doing so, you have exponentially increased their chances of  finding a Virtual Organization Leadership Executive position with any leading or global organization or government anywhere in the world.   
    Moreover, the law of supply and demand says that they will be able to command a Total Annual Compensation Package which far exceeds what they were earning at your organization.
     
    Lifetime Dividends to Your Organization 

    Lifetime Dividends to Your Organization
    Alright,  now that I have made a very clear and convincing case as to how your laid-off employee benefits from this program, I know you are anxious to figure out how your company benefits from all this altruism.

    This "Above and Beyond The Call of Duty" Gesture by Your Organization Will Never Be Forgotten.    For just a few minutes, put yourself in the position of this executive:   
    You have given a good 15-20 years of hard work to the company, made quite a few personal sacrifices,  have gone Above and Beyond The Call of Duty for your employer,  and have never wavered in your  devotion to this organization that you have come to consider a second home and family.     
    Unfortunately, through no fault of your own, the company is left with no other choice but to let go of some of their most valuablededicated and cherished employees.   
    So, like everyone else, there is no denying that it's a traumatic experience, however, you understand that "shit happens" and this is just another challenge that you'll just have to gather the strength to deal with.  And hopefully, the standard Employee Severance Package will help you to make it through some of the emotional roller coaster, rough patches  and uncertainties which are bound to lie ahead. 
    But instead of just getting a "going away employment termination" party along with a lot of thank-yous, accolades, some gifts and flowers,  and many well-wishes from a bunch of teary-eyed colleagues, while crying along with them,  and waiting to receive the Standard Employee Severance Package,  your employer decides to surprise you and reciprocate with its very own "Above and Beyond The Call of Duty" gesture.    
    On your final day of reporting to the corporate office, you learn that your employer has provided you with this "additional 3-month compensation plus a fully-paid Virtual Organization Leadership Executive Training, Assessment and Certification program" that is designed to exponentially increase your chances of finding executive employment anywhere in the world without having to relocate.    
    Moreover,  you discover that such new position would most likely come with a Total Annual Compensation Package which far exceeds what you are now earning. 
    Now my question to you is this:   Regardless of where you happen to land a new position, and no matter how long it has been since you have left the company,  how would you feel about your former employer for making this "above and beyond the call of duty" gesture to you?  In other words, how much goodwill will you always have toward your former employer?
                 
    Moreover, if your employer had a change of fortune, knowing how hard it is to recruit "great employees" and knowing how expensive it is to "recruit the very best," what is the very first company which would come to mind if someone had ever asked you to recommend a good employer where you could give your all without having any regrets down the road?
       
    Again, if your former employer had a change of fortune and offered you a Virtual Organization Leadership Executive position, and assuming all things are equal, on a scale of 1-10, what is the likelihood that you would strongly consider such opportunity?  
    Think about it!  After all, your former employer is the one who introduced you to the world of virtual organizations and paid for your Virtual Organization Leadership Executive training.   
    And, last but not least, assuming that your former employer had a change of fortune, knowing how hard it is to train Virtual Organization Leadership Executives and how expensive it is to "recruit the very best"  (e.g., Virtual Organization Recruiter charges anywhere from USD $45,000 - $250,000 to recruit a Virtual Organization Leadership Executive),  on a scale of 1-10,   how likely are you to refer your friends, colleagues and associates to your former employer?   

    As you can see, this reciprocal Above and Beyond the Call of Duty gesture on your organization's part toward those soon-to-be former employees who had gone above and beyond the call of duty is the sort of gift that just keeps on giving.

    In Conclusion

    This Blueprint for a Thoughtful and Dignified Layoff for those in your organization who have gone above and beyond the call of duty pays off in so many ways that it is impossible to quantify all the benefits.   Click here to learn more about the Virtual Organization Leadership Executive Training, Assessment and Certification program.

    Official Global Ambassador: Your Integrity and Dignity Matter

    The New Virtual Organization World

    It's a New Principled and Civilized World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized

    Official Global Ambassador of VOMI Global Think Tank





    Imagine a world wherein we (individuals, organizations and institutions) are judged by What We Do instead of What We Say!   
    Of course, unless you happen to be a "clueless simpleton," it's obvious that such world does NOT exist.
    Thus the challenge that VOMI  and, by extension, the virtual organization management discipline faces on a perpetual basis since its founding in 1997.   

    And when it comes to the Official Global Ambassador position at VOMI Global Think Tank, we are faced with the same dilemma:   Beyond all the rhetoric and bullshit one finds on a social media profile,  how do we get our Official Global Ambassador candidates To Be Who They Say They Are and  To Do What They Say They Can and Will Do?

    Let's get to the crux of the matter:

    Point #1.   Each Official Global Ambassador candidate is instructed to review this article which describes in great detail what the position IS NOT about and what IT IS really about, as well as details on how to proceed. 

    During each initial Official Global Ambassador Videoconference for Additional Insights,  each candidate is asked to confirm whether or not they read and understood the article and are provided with an opportunity to ask questions for clarification.   Without fail, the questions and comments I receive indicate that the article was NOT read or understood.  Thus no opportunity for any sort of clarification.

    Point #2.   This is NOT a Job.    Under the Collaborator heading in the article, it clearly states the following:  

    "As a Collaborator, you agree to expose your Circle of Influence to VOMI's Internal Providers License solution however you deem fit.    You are ONLY expected to expose them to the solution (a link to the solution will suffice) and must also advise them to contact VOMI directly from its website if they have any questions or  need any additional information on how to proceed.   That is all!
    "You will NOT attempt to provide any sales or technical support nor will you try to sell the solution or engage in any sort of sales meetings, teleconferences, videoconferences, Powerpoint presentations,  business negotiations, passing out business cards, etc.    In turn, VOMI agrees to fulfill the terms of the VOMI Internal Providers License  with all organizations who have been referred to VOMI  by the members of your Circle of Influence.   That is all!
    Yet, the variation of one question I receive without fail (from PhD's and so-called  Sales and Marketing Geniuses, Executive Coaches,  Consultants and Advisors to Fortune 500 CEOs,    High-Level and Highly Sophisticated and Very Influential Business Executives with decades of consulting, business development and leadership experience)  during each videoconference is:   "What happens if I send an email to a number of my contacts and none of them reply or show any interest or follow-through,  will I get compensated for my effort?"    

    (Please don't laugh.  I assure you I am not trying to be a comedian!  This is the sort of insanity one encounters on social media.)

    Hence, here are a number of questions that I have for each person who obviously never took the time to read and understand the article:

    • Question #1.     What exactly is so darned difficult to grasp about the information regarding the Official Global Ambassador position;  the strategy included in the article on how to contact your colleagues (people who know you on a first-name basis);  and the "very specific and tight restrictions" that VOMI Global Think Tank imposes on an Official Global Ambassador in order to make absolutely sure that they do NOT mislead or give others the illusion or impression that they are acting as employees or sales executives or agents or independent contractors of VOMI or VOMI Global Think Tank?  
    • Question #2.     Even if I were a complete idiot and wanted to just give away money for the hell of it, on what basis would I offer any sort of compensation to anyone who merely claims to have sent an email to a number of their contacts?
    • Question #3.     How can I offer compensation to anyone when (a) I do NOT have any control over that person, (b) I have absolutely NO IDEA if that person has a list of my prospective clients,  (c) I do NOT want that person to engage in any SALES activities - not even to follow up on any email sent to a friend or colleague, (d) I have made it abundantly clear to that person that even if a colleague or friend turns out to be a prospective client and contacts YOU for additional information, YOU are forbidden to engage in any sort of discussions or correspondence with YOUR OWN FRIEND or COLLEAGUE and must tell them to contact VOMI directly from its   website?     
    As I have stated in writing and in words on numerous occasions, I do NOT want any Ambassador to engage in sales activities.   The only people who are allowed to engage in SALES activities are VOMI personnel.   Why is that so damn difficult to understand? 
    • Question #4.     Does sharing the link for a solution with a friend or colleague :: and telling him expressly  NOT to contact you in any way, shape or form  regarding the solution and to deal with the company directly ::  amount to a "sales effort" - thus deserving of some sort of compensation?
    I just don't see the sales effort.  In fact, if I were to find out that an Ambassador was engaging in any kind of sales effort, that would be considered a material breach of the Official Global Ambassador Agreement and thus subject to immediate termination of the Agreement.   ZERO TOLERANCE.
     
    The point being, if anyone who shows an interest in the Official Global Ambassador position is really looking for a JOB, then this position is NOT IT.   That person would need to find another source. 
     
    It's a matter of principles. There is no need to play games or engage in any sort of bait-and-switch, moronic and other deceptive practices.  That goes against everything that we stand for.
    • Question #5.     How can YOU tell in advance whether or not your friend or colleague will even click on the link provided in your email in order to learn more about the solution?
    • Question #6.     How can VOMI Global Think Tank tell in advance whether or not your friend or colleague will even click on the link provided in your email in order to learn more about the solution?
    • Question #7.     How can VOMI (Virtual Organization Management Institute)  tell in advance whether or not your friend or colleague will even click on the link provided in your email in order to learn more about the solution?
    • Question #8.     Other than yourself, how can ANYBODY  know  whether or not YOU even took the time to send the simple announcement email to your friend or colleague in order to let him know that you are now an Official Global Ambassador?   
      Especially when you are not given any quotas or Key Performance Indicators.  
       
      Especially when VOMI doesn't care to know, doesn't want to know, and refuses to accept any copy of any personal correspondence that you have sent to anyone.   We have NO right to request access to any email that you send to anyone, including to your friends and colleagues. 
       
      As I have stated and written on numerous occasions, THIS IS NOT A JOB.  There is NO commission.  Commission implies that you are engaging in SALES activities - something which is totally forbidden.
       
      The only time VOMI will know that YOU had sent an email announcement to a friend or colleague, that's when VOMI receives an inquiry regarding that specific Internal Providers License directly from its website and the prospective Client clearly states to VOMI that YOU are the referral source. 
       
      Even then, what if the organization does NOT purchase the license in accordance with our terms, then how will VOMI or VOMI Global Think Tank be able to provide any sort of compensation for a sale that never took place?
       

      Point #3.    This Is Only An Invitation to "Explore" the Official Global Ambassador position.    The invitation you receive is very clear that it is NOT an Official Global Ambassador appointmentEven if you were the president of the United States, why in hell would I want to appoint you to a very prestigious position without first vetting you?   Therefore, you embarrass yourself when you reply "I accept your appointment as Official Global Ambassador."   This is NOT a social network contact invitation.   At the very least, such crude and infantile response indicates a lack of sophistication and poses serious questions about your profile and credentials on the internet.  

      Point #4.     Respect Yourself and Do Your Homework.    Before you reply to an invitation to explore such a prestigious position,  it is extremely critical that you take the initiative to try to understand what VOMI itself is all about, ALL the initiatives it is currently engaged in, and how they all fit into the scheme of things in order to truly realize the importance of the Official Global Ambassador opportunity at VOMI Global Think Tank.   At the very least, this  "virtual organization philosophy immersion process" should take you anywhere from 2 weeks to a full month.  

      That time period will give YOU  1)  an opportunity to become fully immersed into the philosophy of the virtual organization management discipline;  2)  a solid understanding of virtual organizations; as well as their tremendous role in the building of a new global civilization; and, more importantly,  3) an opportunity to understand the role you will play in the building of such new global civilization - and have an epiphany.     

      (To be completely transparent with you, please note that anything short of an epiphany means that you are out of your league and the Official Global Ambassador position is NOT for you.)

      I do realize it's a lot to process, however, it is critical for you to invest the necessary amount of time and effort needed to understand all the opportunities that the Official Global Ambassador position makes available to you - and why it is really such a prestigious position.   Otherwise, you will NOT be in a position to ask any relevant questions during your first videoconference and thus will waste an opportunity to show me that the invitation you received was well-placed and deserving of consideration. 

      Point #5.     Your Integrity and Dignity Matter.     Absent your willingness to invest the necessary amount of time needed to understand what you are getting into, YOU will NOT have any credibility in The New Virtual Organization World space,  the New Global Civilization of Intelligent Beings space, and the Human Evolution space;  and when you speak with others in the capacity of Official Global Ambassador of VOMI Global Think Tank,  you will  NOT be able to speak with authority and confidence regarding what we are all about.   

      You will come across as being a fake and phony and people who know better will realize that immediately; and through your very own words and actions, you would in fact tarnish the prestige of the Official Global Ambassador position, VOMI Global Think Tank,  VOMI, the virtual organization management discipline itself - and your very own reputation (if you had an excellent one to begin with).

      In Conclusion

      If, by some miracle or providence,  you were able to read and understand the content of this article,  then  I invite you to proceed where you left off .

      Official Global Ambassador: Clarification of Your Mission

      The New Virtual Organization World

      It's a New Principled and Civilized World, It's Virtual, and It's Organized


      Official Global Ambassador of VOMI Global Think Tank





      Simplicity
      is the most challenging concept to grasp in a Complex World.   
      In other words, the simpler an idea or concept, the more difficult it is to grasp or understand.
      There is a very good reason for that.  That's because we all live in a Complex World where people naturally assume that you (or any organization and institution) don't necessarily mean what you say and that parts of it - if not all of it - can be revised, repealed, annulled or completely discarded; and that everything in life is subject to interpretation  - and negotiation.   
       
      Being the founder of the virtual organization management discipline pioneered since 1997, I can tell you from experience that "simplicity is an art and a sign of intelligence."   

      Thus the reason why the virtual organization management discipline places such a strong emphasis on communication based on the following diktat:   "Say what you mean and nothing else - as long as it is the truth.

      Hence the reason for this Clarification of the "Mission of an Official Global Ambassador" outlined in the Exclusive Strategy For Official Global Ambassadors of VOMI Global Think Tank document.  It seems that 99.5% of all candidates tend to have a really difficult time understanding that their mission could really be that simple:

      Simply contact your EXISTING Circle of Influence in your country strictly via the internet  in order to advise them of your current Official Global Ambassador status at VOMI Global Think Tank and expose them to VOMI's Internal Providers License solution however you deem fit.   THAT IS ALL!  
       
      Therefore, to emphasize the simplicity of your mission, here is an extremely simple email example of such notification:
       
      Hello Robert,
       
      How have you been?  Long time no hear. 
       
      How is the world treating you at Company XYZ. 
       
      For a quick update on my end, I am excited to let you know that I have just accepted an Official Global Ambassador, Denmark opportunity at VOMI Global Think Tank
       
      In such capacity,  I will have an opportunity to advocate for an  explosion of virtual organizations across Denmark in order to help bring about the dawn of a new era:  The New Virtual Organization World.
       
      In furtherance of my Official Global Ambassador, Denmark  mandate, I invite you to review the following solution offered by Virtual Organization Management Institute ("VOMI"), an affiliate of VOMI Global Think Tank.
       
      Should your organization have a need for such a solution, please be sure to contact VOMI directly from their website since I am NOT an employee or agent or independent contractor of VOMI.  
       
      As well, my mandate strictly forbids me from fielding any inquiries or providing any additional information (i.e., no emails, phone calls, videoconferences, lunches, meetings, etc.) beyond the link just provided.
       
      Nevertheless, whether or not your organization has a need for this solution, here is a quick link to an article which describes in stunning detail what the Official Global Ambassador position entails.  Perhaps, you may be inclined to join me at VOMI Global Think Tank if you find it as interesting and fascinating as I do.
       
      On a more personal note,  how is Judy Nostra?  Is she still with the company?  If so, let her know I said hello and to keep up the good work.
       
      I look forward to keeping open our channels of communication and to staying in touch a bit more often.
       
      Warmest regards,
       
      Jack

      Jack Bilderbert
           
      -----End of Example
      Yes, it is that simple.  There is nothing else to it.
          
      I hope that the latter example has answered every single question you may have had as well as resolved any ambiguities regarding the mission of the Official Global Ambassador.
