I work with a number of freelance assistants and support people and I try to emphasize the importance of personal branding. Tom Peters calls it “Brand You”.

I agree that the advice can be transferred to more than just social media companies, but unfortunately more traditional/conservative companies are more reluctant to listen to this type of advice (in my experience). They are less willing to dim the lines of authority and understand that everybody is important. This doesn’t mean doing away with a chain of command, but it does mean providing more opportunities for respect to be paid and recognition to be shown. Rebecca, I’d be interested to hear more about you conversation.

I was just talking to a friend at lunch who works for a social media company on just this issue.

I think what happens far too often is upper management completely detaches themselves from the ‘little people’ – and what they fail to realize is the worker bees are the ones that drive business – they are the bread and butter of the company, so it’s important to reach out and connect with them. It let’s them know that they are valued and appreciated, and when an employee feels important, they’ll be more willing to do great work for you!

I don’t know if it’s Social Media or just Gen X/Y moving deeper into the organization, but it seems like management itself is changing. Here’s something I came up with about recognizing your employees over twitter.

1 – Quick – 140 characters, bam. It’s a perfect medium for quick recognition for a job well done. I’ve seen so many managers get nervous and hesitate to properly recognize their employees…but this is a overwhelmingly easy way to give quick feedback.

2 – Public – I would love for my followers to see that I did a great job at “making a coherent argument for an idea in a meeting…” A simple @benphoster, and I’m working nights to come up with better arguments.

3 – New – As of right now…no one is doing this. Show your team that you’re one of those “forward-thinking” manager types that they’ve been hearing so much about. Set up a #tag for your team to allow the group to publicly see the motivation.
