Consider asking members of your team who are already knowledgeable or engaged in social media to assist you by being a voice of the company.

Effective leadership calls for a vision that is dynamically communicated and has a strategy for accomplishment. It seeks to nurture and help others in their maturing process. It is a leadership that lifts people, rather than one that represses and controls people. This is Servant Leadership.Today's institutions—and this includes our families—need nothing less.

By F. Willard Robinson, Ed. D.

Most of us hold a leadership role at some time in our life. It might be in family, church, work, or school. However, it would be my hope that some of the principles I learned the hard way, as a Navy aircraft carrier torpedo pilot in World War II, as a teacher, high school principal, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, might still be of value today.

Sure, you're a good presenter. Who would doubt it? After all, you didn't become vice-president by resting on your laurels, did you? But have you ever wondered whether you could be even better - if you could make them laugh more, buy more, listen more intently, respect you more or shower you with even louder applause?

"If only I'd had more time to practice," goes the common post-presentation lament. But, as Dave Zielinski reports, the difference between a mediocre presentation and a memorable one is more a function of how you practice, not how much.

If you're like many presenters, the end of a presentation signals the start of your brilliant hindsight. If only I hadn't stumbled over that key phrase. If only I had handled that question a bit more deftly or found more compelling data to support my message. And of course, one of the most common post-presentation laments, if only I'd had more time to practice.

The truth is, no amount of preparation time is enough. Allot one month to develop and practice for a big presentation and in the post-mortem, you wish it would have been two.
