- Using social media as a learning tool INSIDE the company is fast becoming a necessity – if it isn’t already. #tcbfuture
- Social Media defined: Taking the conversations that people were having privately, and allowing them to have them more publicly. #tcbfuture
- Social Media is about an Open Culture. #tcbfuture
- Example of using social media for leadership development: My@LeadershipHaiku tweets. twitter.com/LeadershipHaiku #tcbfuture
- Emerging Leaders likely do not need INCENTIVES to use Social Media. It’s ALREADY part of who they BE. #tcbfuture
- Social Media has the ability to keep knowledge management IN-HOUSE even AFTER employees leave via its RSS stream, etc. #tcbfuture
- Social Media = COLLECTIVE wisdom #tcbfuture
Fun moment » John Bernard was showing attendees his TweetDeck on the big screen just as I tweeted: @JohnMBernard showing his TweetDeck! #tcbfuture » I mean I KNOW that Twitter goes out to the entire WORLD, but it surprised me to see that, in that moment, that also included the very room I was tweeting from!
