leadership in social networks by darek kłeczek leadership in social networks by darek kłeczek blog the linked world network models qualities and applications published january 25 2009 review 4 comments i have recently finished reading linked a great book by albert lászló barabási about the network theory and its applications see my review here i recommend checking out this book to everyone as a teaser i d like to share with you some insights i gained about the networks and specifically the network models qualities and applications continue reading the linked world network models qualities and applications leading in the online chaord published december 8 2008 general 3 comments tags chaord community leadership the concept of chaordic leadership goes back to dee hock the founder of visa international and a leading management thinker in the art of chaordic leadership he defines chaord as any self organizing self governing adaptive nonlinear complex organism organization community or system whether physical biological or social the behavior of which harmoniously blends characteristics of both chaos and order continue reading leading in the online chaord seth godin s approach to leadership published december 1 2008 review leave a comment tags community leadership seth godin i have recently read and reviewed seth godin s tribes and i thought it would be worth sharing some of his insights on leadership tribes according to seth tribes are groups of people that share a common interest and have a way to communicate while most of the leaders leverage the tribe so that it can grow and gain new members effective leaders transform the shared interest into a passionate goal and desire for change and provide tools to improve the communication between tribe members and the leader movements seth quotes bill bradley s definition of a movement that contains three elements a narrative that tells a story about the group and the future it s trying to build a connection between and among the leader and the tribe and something to do only focusing on something to do is not enough tightness a leader can improve her tribe on two dimensions its size and its tightness while most leaders focus on size sometimes a smaller but tighter tribe works better there can be many strategies for tightening a tribe like creating rituals introducing people to one another and providing a communications platform for tribe members motivation you can t become an effective leader when you focus on your benefits great leaders focus on the followers and get their compensation from watching the tribe thrive creating a micromovement seth shares a step by step approach of creating an online micromovement publish a manifesto allow followers to contact you allow followers to contact one another realize that money is not the point of a movement track progress elements of leadership challenge the status quo create a culture around your goal and involve others in that culture be curious use charisma communicate your vision of the future commit to a vision and make decision based on that commitment connect your followers to one another positive deviants this is the best story i found in this book jerry sternin decided to help starving vietnamese children he didn t send any food to vietnam though he didn t educate the local people either instead he looked for families that were not starving who learned to thrive in that environment he told them how special they were and asked to share their insights and methods with the wider community these families were positive deviants such people are the key to success of any tribe or organization as they bring a change for better they challenge and improve the status quo if you follow this blog and are interested in the topic i really recommend you read tribes or listen to the free thanks seth audio version leaders influencers and managers in the online world published november 14 2008 ideas 4 comments tags leadership taxonomy i d like to propose some vocabulary to talk about prominent people in the online world the influencers the leaders and the managers influencers people that change mindsets of their followers they can be bloggers reviewing the latest gadget lifehackers proposing the new approach to time management or connectors suggesting you link up with some of their online friends leaders influencers that also make a call for action leaders aren t satisfied when you change your opinion about a product they want you to buy it they re not satisfied with your interest in the lifehack they want you to implement it they want you to get in touch with their other friends and start a business together and if they are true leaders you do what they want as it s the best thing for you to do managers people that organize online collaboration they may not be as visible and popular as leaders or influencers but without them no complex effort can be undertaken online some of them are famous take for example linus torvalds who has designed the linux operating system in a way that allows thousands of contributors to extend and improve it implicitly he has created a management framework to organize the collaboration of software developers around his product where do you fit on this taxonomy are you an influencer a leader or a manager or maybe all of them at the same time vision passion and trust the leadership of banker to the poor published november 12 2008 general 1 comment tags leadership muhammad yunus muhammad yunus muhammad yunus is a great leader he has created an organization which challenged the status quo that sentenced millions of bangladeshi people to famine and helped them to manage themselves out of poverty he has inspired thousands of people to follow his model of microcredit to decrease poverty in many developing nations he has engaged a multinational corporation to invest in social business and sacrifice part of its profit to increase the well being of poor children after reading muhammad yunus book creating the world without poverty i believe that there are three traits that have made him such a fantastic leader his leadership comes from vision passion and trust continue reading vision passion and trust the leadership of banker to the poor creating a world without poverty published november 11 2008 review leave a comment tags poverty social business i ve just finished reading the book from muhammad yunus the 2006 nobel peace prize winner it is an inspiring book that can touch your heart and motivate you to fight against poverty at the same time it did not quite match my expectations in terms of content so i d like to make clear in this review what you should and should not expect from this great book first of all muhammad yunus presents his vision of the social business it is a powerful idea based on challenging the assumption of one dimensional human beings that aim at maximizing profit this concept lies at the core of established economic theories and supports the current notion of the business that should maximize value for its shareholders the social business is totally dedicated to solving social or environmental problems it is different from charities or ngo s as it does not generate losses and it s different from profit maximizing businesses as it does not pay dividend continue reading creating a world without poverty blog action day today think of your poor grand grandfather published october 15 2008 general 1 comment tags blog action day poverty today is blog action day and thousands of bloggers write about poverty i would like to ask you to stop for a moment and think of your poor grand grandfather if none of your grandparents suffered from poverty think of another poor relative and for sure you will find one if you track down the history of your family my grandfather suffered extreme poverty during the time of world war ii he was five years old when the war started in poland in 1939 together with his parents four brothers and a sister they lived on a small farm in dulcza wielka the house was burnt to ashes by the german troops as they marched through the village and the family had to separate in order to survive my grandfather his sister and their mother went on to another village where they begged for shelter and food they were extremely hungry and my grandfather was close to death from malnutrition he was saved by a russian soldier who saw the dying child and took him to a mobile army hospital where he was treated after the war ended the family of my grandfather reunited and came back to the farm they had to rebuild the house and replant the land which was another period of poverty and hunger slowly the land started to yield crop and the family managed themselves out of poverty continue reading blog action day today think of your poor grand grandfather open source science published october 5 2008 ideas 1 comment tags open source research science thanks to matt rhodes i became aware of the recent hype around social media s impact on science the numerous discussions cover topics like scientific blogging copyright issues and open source science often referred to altogether as science 2 0 as this subject is very close to my heart i m pursuing research via this blog even though i don t have a formal affiliation with any of the scientific institutions i d like to delve deeper into what i consider as open source science continue reading open source science authentic leadership published october 3 2008 ideas 4 comments tags leadership aspiring leaders very often search for instructions or advice on how to master leadership the article discovering your authentic leadership in harvard business review claims that the place to discover leadership lies in our own biography the authors have conducted a massive study to identify ways of developing leadership skills and they have come up with the concept of authentic leadership authentic leaders behave naturally in ways that fit their personality they nurture long lasting relationships they have mastered self discipline and self awareness striving to achieve desired goals they stick to their values and principles according to the study becoming an authentic leader requires that we first interpret our life story it is important to consider the people and experiences that shaped our character in the early life stages by practicing self awareness we should understand the real values and principles that guide our decisions and the factors both internal and external that motivate us an authentic leader can count on a diverse support group which may consist of a partner family and friends authentic leaders prove their integrity when facing difficult choices even if the correct decision may negatively affect their career i would risk the statement that in online communities it is even more important for a leader to be authentic such authenticity is a source of referent power the biggest influencing force that allows a leader to drive the community effort in desired direction in each place where you show up online whether it s in a blog a social network or an online forum you can build trust via integrity or lose trust via acting against community values and as always it s much easier to lose trust than it is to build it what do you do to stay authentic on the web i d love to see your point of view in the comments source william w george peter sims andrew n mclean david mayer and diana mayer discovering your authentic leadership harvard business review february 2007 blogging and the popularity trap published october 1 2008 general leave a comment tags blogging do your blog posts their content style and format reflect the purpose of your blog i ve recently finished writing my about page and while i changed the perspective to look at my blog from distance i observed it was not the case for me i had started this blog as a journal to document my personal research hold me accountable and share my research findings i wanted to be professional about it so i looked for professional blogging advice such as from problogger or chris brogan i started the habit of checking my stats and following diverse advice on increasing traffic recently traffic has become so important to me that my focus shifted from following my purpose to writing posts that could become popular and increase the readership of my blog you could say that our objectives may change but when i deeply thought about it it still does not matter to me as much as my core objective of pursuing and documenting research my plan to get out of this popularity trap is to define principles that should be the foundation for this blog my blog posts should be clear concise and serve the purpose of documenting sharing and facilitating discussion on my research are you falling in the popularity trap as well what are your ways to get out of it next page
