On Networking Leadership - How To Do It Right (which means MY way)

Hiya Folks.

It really does not matter what networking platform (mostly) you might be using. It's the leadership that keeps it going strong or makes it a weak endeavor. Do we all agree on that one? OK.

What a good/great leader does to engage people is post information that should be
1 - Global (as much as possible) to the membership.
2 - Interesting and up to date (when it's called for).
3 - Asks a question so the MEMBERS can show off their expertise in any field of endeavor.

Number three being the catch for most network leaders, moderators and board assigned posters.

It's more important to ask the question than to show off your own expertise in any field. Huh? Yep, it's better to allow your members to "help you out" with their words of wisdom instead of always projecting your own knowledge right off the bat. THIS method sets brains to clicking when your members get a chance to show off what THEY feel is an answer to your post, question or quandry.

Everyone likes to feel like they are contributing to a conversation, helping out. GIVE your members that chance and they'll feel much better about posting replies and helping YOU out with what they know. Allow them to show off and you'll have a happy membership.
