Comment on: Topic 'Tips to increase hits to your LinkedIn Profile': t LinkedIn group activities after dealing with some of the latest LinkedIn news about 50 groups etc. I was "planning" on creating a group on LinkedIn prior to all this latest LinkedIn news.. I just wanted to hear what your thoughts were on it. I did join many groups on LinkedIn for those same reasons you listed on your response. I guess I wanted to inquire if you had any ideas how you draw traffic into your own group. And.. yes.. I continue to inquire, explore and discuss with many about "how" to use LinkedIn for sourcing, recruiting and networking. I understand the basics.. however I am always open for a discussion about any strategies to use LinkedIn effectively :) As for the downside.. well.. I don't know where to start.. and I am still digesting my thoughts on it.. will have to explore that. I do agree that if you don't want people probing about your background you shouldn't be on social networking sites.. however there are those out there (like myself) who wouldn't mind being probed.. as long as it is done with mutual respect, understanding and sincerity. I am definitely learning differences as I invest more time here on social media world. Thanks Lisa. I was just curious about what your thoughts were ~~ :) I appreciate your time and sharing. Good luck with your LinkedIn group ~ All the best ~ Susan Lisa Zee said:Dear Susan,The fundamental objective in joining groups (online and off-line) in my opinion is to quickly expand ones network to achieve some personal (dating, friendship) and/or career (business development, access to more top candidates) goals. Hopefully by joining groups you will meet new people who share a common interest or objective and eventually become a mutually beneficial 'partner'. After you join groups on LinkedIn, you can view all the member profiles. Many things can happen, you may find someone in the group that can help you land a job at a company you've always wanted to work, get access to top candidates you're sourcing, get introduced to potential investors...etc.The benefits are many. The down side is of course if you don't like people probing into your background, stay away from LinkedIn or any social networking groups.Best regards,LisaSusan Kang Nam said:LinkedIn is great.. thanks for connection. Also, yes #1 and #2... I have been told to put my profile on TopLinked.com by a RBC colleague ~ and perhaps that may drive more traffic into my site.. I just haven't had a chance to focus too much on my invitations... especially after all the LinkedIn groups elimination talk.. it really was hard to "understand" what LinkedIn was doing.. granted.. I don't need all those groups.. however as a learner..and an explorer..(as I only participated in LinkedIn quite recently) I wanted to "try" out and see. What are your thoughts on joining groups? How does that "really" increase your traffic per se? What do you "exactly" do after you join these groups.. Would love to hear what you think on that. Thanks Lisa !~ Susan Kang Nam said:Hi Lisa ~Thanks for your LinkedIn insight ~ I'll definitely look into it.. and change few things!~~SusanPS ~ are we linkedin yet? I would love to send you my LinkedIn invite. Thanks! …; Added by Susan Kang Nam at 7:25am on August 16, 2008

Comment on: Topic 'Claudia's Wednesday Wisdom: Burn Baby Burn': ff the current leader – I was under the impression that since this was a small, growing company, there wasn’t one yet. I didn’t write the question, so I was answering it based on the little background and attitude of the person who presented it (who came across like a ‘mouse’). I don’t know if you meant the question to come across that way, but the way it was presented, there seemed to be an issue of helplessness or insecurity in GDIF’s approach. Now, if there does happen to be a leader in place, well . . . somebody has to be accountable. It’s the leader’s role to be the catalyst for change – hey, I believe in collaboration . . . but collaboration minus someone to drive a new initiative forward is a fatal flaw. I like the idea of a huge “hug party” at work where we tweet each other all our random thoughts all day long, theorizing what our little community “could be” . . . but at some point, somebody has to pick up the ball and run with it. [That’s a joke, everyone – please don’t take tweeting all day literally!] You know my style – I’m not a social worker or psychotherapist . . . but I’m not too shabby at cutting through the noise to find the real issues. Instead of focusing on a band-aid, I would rather look deeper. What’s the ‘real issue’ at play here? To your arguments against my suggestions: Line Recruiters themselves are not going to be able to shift an entire corporate culture or attitude towards hiring. Looks like we agree to disagree here, and that’s ok. My take is that you need top-down buy-in to the shift in process or culture. Can it be done without it? Sure, but I’d rather get senior-level commitment first. Many smaller issues seem to work themselves out when the Big Dogs back initiatives. As far as Geoffrey Moore’s thoughts on Corporate Culture, I remember his works (particularly “Inside the Tornado”, “Crossing the Chasm”, and “Living on the Fault Line”) being more about marketing strategy relative to the point at which your product falls on the technology adoption lifecycle. I read the bowling alley analogy to be more about target market selection and prioritization, although I do believe this analogy can also be utilized within mgmt thinking (in certain cases.) Why would the VP in your title be advantageous? Because VP = Respect. VP = Ears & Eyeballs. Again, I'll agree to disagree. Titles matter – I don’t think they should as much as they do . . . but they do. If a VP makes a recommendation, more people listen than an individual line employee. I’m not saying it’s right – I’m just saying it’s reality. [Note: I’m also not saying the title has to be ‘VP’ per se’, what I’m saying is that positional authority matters.] And if there is anyone who knows that “words without supporting behavior are the death of reputation”, it’s me. I’ve been through more leadership courses and training (in extremely harsh environments under very trying conditions) than I can shake a stick at, so again, I agree. Leaders lead by setting the example. When top brass backs an initiative, it's uncanny how things seem to fall in place... I’m glad we agree here. Now, if that doesn't work and you find yourself losing sleep at night and thinking about work 24/7 . . . leave. I’m not suggesting that it’s a “my way or the highway” mentality. What I am saying is that I think diplomacy is great, but some situations are beyond a pow-wow (sp?). It comes down to what personally makes people tick. If you like stress, then stay there . . . but if you don’t, then maybe it’s not in the best interest of you health to stick around. Please don’t think I feel this way when it comes to personal things like marriage – what I’m suggesting is that we have more control over our lives and the situations we put ou…; Added by Joshua Letourneau at 1:18pm on July 24, 2008
