Social Media and Leaders
• Don’t ignore technology
• Don’t let it rule your life
– Make your cell phone, TV, DVDs, email, online
communities your own
– Put them to use – with specific goals in mind
• Do make use of your networks – and make
sure to build new ones.


European e-tax experiences
• Who?
– Denmark, Finland, FYR of Macedonia,
Germany, Ireland, Norway, Poland, Slovenia,
• Where? When? How?
– Daily on e-Practice.eu or monthly workshops.
• What?
– Experiences, Pitfalls, Success factors.


Leadership From Below
• Not only for wannabe leaders.
• Not only for emerging leaders.

• Successful with CEOs, Directors, Royalty.
• Across sectors (public, private or NGO)


The Premise
• Most management books miss the point.

• Leadership is unrelated to hierarchy.

• You can lead without being in charge.


How?
(Really)


Three Things Count
• The Internet generation.

• Scandinavian equity.

• Asian philosophy.


The Internet Generation
• Navigate hierarchies and networks.
• Take charge of technology.
• Shape their surroundings.

• Your peer-to-peer attitude defies
hierarchy.


Scandinavian Equity
• Maintain work-life balance.
• Master mobility.
• Respect others.

• Your choice is to be on top but have a life.


Asian Philosophy
• Tap into Ki – presence.
• Lead by Ba – shared understanding.
• Be grounded – martial art of management.

• You don’t have to be Asian to use Asian
principles.


Leadership From Below
• Change your attitude, not your position.
• Exploit policy windows.
• Nobody will know. Nobody is threatened.


The Five Principles
1. Be persistent.
2. Build an unbreakable bond.
3. Make your way the natural way.
4. Push your point, but move on.
5. See yourself as an equal.
