Get on board, CEOs!” ―Celine Schillinger, CEO of We Need Social“Damian Corbet has assembled the must read book on how to be an authentic social CEO that I wish I had read before I dipped my toes into the sometimes turbulent, but always interesting waters of social media.

If you’re a C-level leader, or even if you’re not, understanding the power of professional social media and leveraging the potential to impact your company, career, or community is critical. There are real-life case studies where executives who understand the power of professional social media discuss why they use and how it’s impacted their organization. I highly recommend reading this book. It’s essential to get ahead of this trend and leverage it for your success. Great read. | |
