Download or read book The Social CEO written by Damian Corbet and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of expert insights on how and why CEOs need to get social for business success. There remains a huge gulf in understanding by many leaders of the Social Age – in which everyone, all round the world, can comment on anything and everything. Despite this mass revolution, it is the people at the top of organizations who have been slowest to understand and adapt to it. While business leaders may feel that it's enough to hire social media managers and amend their marketing strategies, Damian Corbet shows why organizations need to do more to succeed in the Social Age – why CEOs need to 'get social' to survive. The Social CEO sets out to educate and inspire senior leaders to embrace the Social Age, teaching them the hows and whys of utilising social media in order to make them stronger leaders. Social CEOs can effectively encourage engagement from their employees as well as other stakeholders and customers; they're better able to communicate their organization's objectives and values, gauge the climate in which they operate and improve their brand image. Offering invaluable contributions from industry-recognised experts in social business, The Social CEO explores the many aspects of leading in the Social Age, such as storytelling, personal branding, managing risk and public relations. With chapters also written by practising 'social CEOs' working across a variety of sectors, from healthcare to sport, the book provides a wealth of insight into how social media can be used to gain a competitive advantage.
