The 2013 Roger Summit Award Lecture presented by Aaron Templer

Leading in a Social World:  An unexpected look at the social web through the lens of leadership

Managers of brands and reputations must think of themselves as leaders. After all, doesn’t a great brand or reputation do what a leader does? Inspire people to take action - buy, vote, refer, hire?  It’s critical for leaders to stop and think about how we communicate today. We are connected like never before across a social web: An uncoordinated, self-created conglomeration of social community members. It is very different from the one- or two-way communications of yesterday.  And what’s the going currency in our new world? Social capital.  Leading in a Social World uncovers the principles of building social capital - the strategic context behind what drives the social web. It includes stories of people and enterprises who have built - or haven’t built - social capital and provides highlights of leadership studies to help us understand how to frame and develop our leadership acumen for this new world.
