Editor or Author

We all have our ideas about the best way to communicate certain messages.  When we are fully in control of the platform, we have the choice to script our own remarks and/or ask for input from trusted associates.  When we are the associate asked for input, we need to determine whether we are invited to be an editor, or if innovative ideas will be accepted. 

We can add value with either role.  But once we know if we are an editor or author, we know how much time, effort and creativity to invest.
