I was really taken with this story on social engagement because it sheds light on a dimension of leadership that isn’t often written about, if at all. Judith Ireland makes an interesting observation about the enduring love the Obamas have for each other and the positive impact it has on the President’s ability to inspire his constituents.
So what place does this story have in this blog – especially one that has been focussed of late on internet security? It’s to do with a display of truthful engagement and how we might live this in our own social encounters and communications: that is to say to engage successfully through any social media by starting from an honest grounding.
