Summary

Some compare the evolving Web to the revolution of the Gutenberg press. How does the Web shape the role and understanding of leadership? What are key challenges and opportunities? What mindsets, skills and knowledge are necessary? "The Leadership Implications of the Evolving Web," provides and analyzes over 300 pioneer examples from the private, public and non-profit sector in Germany, Europe and the US. A new leadership paradigm seems to be emerging with an inexorable shift away from one-way, hierarchical, organization-centric communication toward two-way, network-centric, participatory, and collaborative leadership styles. Which requirements and trends, which opportunities and key challenges are emerging for leadership? Aim of the study is to enable managers from all sectors to anticipate changes and proactively take advantage of opportunities that are emerging. (Target group for this publication are people in leadership positions in organizations across all sectors - from managers in executive and supervisory boards, operations, human resources to academics and practitioners, advisers and policymakers. The Study "Leadership & Web 2.0” has been presented by authors Grady McGonagill, ED and Tina Doerffer, MPA amongst others at the International Leadership Academy in Boston (2010).

    Social Media - Best Practices

    Social Media is good term for one on one communication with customers and a critical emphasis for survival and productive efforts by all organizations, profit, non-profit, education, government, and unions. Marketers have long done this with ads, coupons, in-store discounts, premiums, and other such things. Now many are drilling down and capture names, emails, and individual information. This audiobook emphasizes how to empower these customers and potential customers to reach out to your organization in a two way dialogue, much like the old Greek Marketplace where people talked one on one, got ideas, and they were passed along. Social Media emphasizes best practices, how to listen until it hurts, how to modify one's perspective and that of your organization. From this, for example, Simply Magazine learned to feature audiobooks versus software, lecture length versus longer length except in fiction, and emphasize subject matters such as self-development and health that customers wanted to listen to. Simply Magazine learned to price at 4.99; high enough for value and low enough for impulse pricing--in the eyes of their customers.  Social Media makes the point: let the customer lead you by listening closely to them, daily, adjusting as you learn more. Best practices emphasizes: What does the customer want? Are you providing it? Are you getting out of the way so the customer can get what they want? Coke did this masterfully when returning to Old Coke after listening to their customers anger about new Coke. This decision turned anger to applause. Apple does this continually under Steve Jobs, but not before his time when they stonewalled the customer after he left and before he came back. Mediocrity was the result. Social Media best practices can help you recover from errors such as Coke made and capitalize on opportunities as Steve Jobs has, but not his predecessors--by listening and responding using Social Media best practices. Keywords: Social Media, Coke, Greek Marketplace, discounts, premiums, communication.

    An assessment of where we are, where we’re headed, and what we need to do before it’s too late: “Instructive, well-researched, and easy-to-read.” —John T. Ackerman, Strategic Studies Quarterly   This era of staggering scientific and technological innovations, with major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, commerce, and communications, seems to document unparalleled human achievement. Yet when we examine the long-term implications, it becomes clear that the delicate environmental balance that sustains life on this planet is under serious threat, and the past century may be remembered not as a period of great progress but as one marked by unrestrained consumption and failure to come close to a sustainable use of the earth’s limited natural resources.   In The State of the Earth, noted historian Paul K. Conkin provides a comprehensive analysis of the many environmental hazards that humans must face in this still-young century. Our activities have threatened the survival of many plants and animals, created scarcities in cultivatable soils and water needed for irrigation, used up a large share of fossil fuels, polluted air and water, and most likely created conditions that will lead to devastating climate changes. This is an invaluable resource for those who desire a broad yet thorough and scientifically informed introduction to present environmental challenges.
