Still have your Facebook phobia?  Kashmir Hill will scare you into getting over that in her article Beware, Tech Abandoners. People Without Facebook Accounts Are 'Suspicious.' She writes, "Anecdotally, I've heard both job seekers and employers wonder aloud about what it means if a job candidate doesn't have a Facebook account.

Transform Your Leadership with Technology
Use of social technology can be your technology superpower.  Chapter 14 of The Leadership Muse tells us that "like the nine original Muses, the Leadership Muse has her tools of the trade, which she wields with reverent and artistic skill."
 
Charlene Li, author of Open Leadership challenges leaders to use social technology to have open, transparent, and authentic leadership.   

October 12 - Columbus Day: Discover Your Leadership
October 12 is Columbus Day - the day we commemorate Christopher Columbus' discovery of the New World. This was obviously a great and historic moment that shaped today's global environment as we know it.

Please  this to your colleagues who may be interested in personal and organizational leadership issues.  I welcome your feedback at linda@myleadershipmuse.com.  Did you miss some back issues of this newsletter?  Check them out here.
