Creativity comes in many forms

Creativity comes in many forms, including a childlike imagination to pretend.

Today’s topic reveals the number one Social Media secret.

It’s number one, period.

But vehemently denied by so many.

And multitudes fail because of this.

Let me make this as simple as possible.  The answer is patience.

Click on it to read Seth Godin’s take. It’s his number one most popular blog post.

Patience.

This is why Social Media, and blogging in particular, is overrated.

SHRM Knows Next

Maybe, Maybe Not
Maybe, Maybe Not

Do you know next? Most likely, you don’t.

I didn’t either, until I clicked here.

Come to find out, I do know next.

It’s one of the special gifts I have that looks stupid, antagonistic, even moronic.

Do You Know Next?

Everyone has special gifts they bring to the table, value they add to their organization

Often, for myriad reasons, these gifts, these talents, go unnoticed.

Why?

Just like Hugh MacLeod stated a few days ago.

SAS Number One Employer

Ditto

Fortune has named SAS the number one employer to work for, again.

Why?  You’ll have to read the article to find out, but you can bet CEO “Dr. Goodnight”, is using common sense and the estimable ROI that comes with following your gut – that being loyal begets loyalty.

I’d like to extend a very special thank you to Bob Stewart for sharing the link in yesterday’s jungle jeff comments section.

Comments are a great resource to extend, enhance and create an online leadership think-tank community.

Imagine, Snowball Marketing

Snowball Marketing?
Snowball Marketing?

Imagine if (random number) half your staff had blogs.  And they wrote about how your company helps people.

Imagine the people you select to blog, like this.  They are smart, professional people.  You already trust them to remain compliant with all your organization’s policies, while interacting with your customers on the phone, and face to face.

Imagine no rules are broken and no lines are crossed – the same way you currently assume your people are behaving in front of your customers.

Is this easy or difficult to imagine?
