From Charlene Li's "Open Leadership": how big is your sandbox?

•Tell the story of the process, not just the product

•Share data•Admit mistakes - people (and

social media) are forgiving!•Celebrate success and give

credit where credit is due•What else?

2. How do you interact?Social Media Value: AuthenticityJewish Guiding Value: Tocho K'varo

Why it is a "gateway to engagement": When your interactions reflect on the outside what you are made of on the inside, you welcome others into your world and set the stage to let them to welcome you into theirs.
