Great article!

As John Maxwell says, "Leadership is influence. Nothing more… nothing less."

Utilizing twitter to share nuggets of leadership gold is a great idea.

Yes – it is a leadership tool AND that’s why it’s so important to be intentional about what you say and make sure it aligns with who you are. When I see people retweeting information that clearly doesn’t fit with how I see them as a leader, it disappoints me. Twitter is one more communication tool. We need to remember to be authentic as leaders wherever we are.

Absolutely!

One of the things I love about twitter is that it levels the playing field. If you want to know someone's "position" or "status" you have to look for it – it is not right in front of you like the name plate on a big office door. Everyone's tweet has equal space on the page. Your influence grows based on the quality of what you have to say and the way in which you interact with people.

I think of people in leadership positions could learn a lot about themselves and their leadership by using twitter. It can be both humbling and very enlightening to build your identity from scratch when you have spent your career building your identity within organizations. Interacting with people who don't know who you are or who don't ascribe importance based on your level is a unique opportunity to look into a mirror of sorts and see who you have actually become.

As a leader I see Twitter accomplishing a few things

… 'welcome to my world'
… value adding
… connection

This is awesome! I am fully invested in Twitter. Now I am on the lookout for creative and quality ways to be an evangelist for this excellent and evolving communication tool. This is another way that I will sound the horn for Twitter.

Thanks for your transparency and willingness to live in the cutting edge. Your role as a CEO of a highly recognized publishing company only heightens the way leaders can integrate social media into their lives and companies.
