If anything, if the amount and significance exceeds the ability it indicates that more resources need to be diverted to this new form of media.

]]> Comment on Leadership is Key Through Lousy Economy by Amanda Kozma http://aekozma.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/leadership-is-key-through-lousy-economy/#comment-23 Amanda Kozma Thu, 30 Apr 2009 08:49:12 +0000 http://aekozma.wordpress.com/?p=430#comment-23 I'd have to say I agree with both options. I think some people do have natural leadership tendencies. However, I agree that certain situations, opportunities and influencers contribute to developing strong leaders as well. I think some people have the natural instinct to step into a leadership role, but I've also experienced situations when people who tend to be more passive have stepped into the leadership role and risen to the occasion. I think it all depends on the situation, but I think both those who are born leaders and those who have learned to lead others through experience can serve as strong leaders.

I think we've all experienced good and bad leaders. Some believe that you're either born a leader or you're not. Others think that you can learn how to be a leader. I tend to think the latter. I believe that situations, opportunities and influencers contribute to developing strong leaders. What do you think? A fabulous perspective on leadership, Amanda!

William Arthur Ward I like your point about accepting today's environment and being flexible about change as an approach to success. Here's a quote that's great for writers: "The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead."

There are SO many more of them than traditional media editors. At what point are there just too many valuable relationships for one PR person to manage?

]]> Comment on Who Wants to be a Twillionaire? by aekozma http://aekozma.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/i-want-to-be-a-twillionaire/#comment-16 aekozma Tue, 07 Apr 2009 05:01:31 +0000 http://aekozma.wordpress.com/?p=346#comment-16 Thanks for all the great feedback! Rebecca, I think about how lucky we are to be part of PRKent all the time! And to think- three years ago, Bill would go on and on about blogs and Twitter and I had no clue. And now look at us, I agree with both you and Brittany and plan to "leverage" my experience with social media when I'm looking for a job after graduation. And like Lee said, how do we get any work done? It's dangerous, I'm pretty sure I could spend my whole life trying to keep up with Twitter and the blogosphere... it's a balancing act between establishing a presence online and still maintaining a "real" life. These social networks require so much time and work to stay current. But because Twitter is so global, I have a feeling all the time we invest in social networks is worth the efforts because it gives people the ability to connect with each other across the world in immediate, two-way conversations like we never could before. Thanks for all the great feedback!
