I’m now a huge fan of the movie Moneyball. I don’t think it’s cinematic genius necessarily, but it crystallizes some ideas for me that are central to my work, and central to what we’re saying in Humanize.

Andrew Grill writes how social business adds value to all business.
Maddie Grant's insight:
"IBM seems to be on a roll at the moment, and almost weekly I am seeing new marketing material from them to do with social business. One recent report that caught my eye is titled “Patterns in achieving social business success by leading and pioneering organizations”.
You can download the report, and I have provided a brief summary below. This is a concise report and it packs a powerful punch in the fight to move the “social media” discussion away from the marketing and communications teams and into areas of the business such as internal expertise identification, product development, internal communications and HR for recruitment. They provide another great definition of “social business” and also expand on why this is relevant to companies of any size." Delete the scoop?

General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt is one of the 18 percent of top CEOs on social media according to a new study on CEO sociability.
Maddie Grant's insight:
"Looking back to 2012, research such as IBM’s Global CEO Survey suggests that executive leaders have finally embraced social media. The rationale for the conversion is sound business strategy. The report conveyed companies that outperform peers were 30 percent more likely to identify openness – characterized by greater use of social media platforms – as a key influence on their organizations."

This quote captures it well and feeds right into our L>C concept - that says the winners in a period of rapid change and increasing complexity will be those whose rate of learning is greater than the rate of change, "Lead the people around you from a position of curiosity and clarity. Transform the world around you from a position of creativity and courage. Model for everyone to see that you are learning and discovering alongside employees, business partners and customers at an accelerating pace."

Leadership today means modeling collaboration, curation, and connecting your followers to strategic partners, customers, suppliers and sources of knowledge that can help keep your L>C. This is what we mean by "network" leadership. This learning manifesto helps put that into action. The CPA Horizons 2025 research and the most recent IBM Global CEO Study both identify "collaboration" as THE #1 skill needed for the future. How can we help our Profession get and utilize this skill better?

The list of the world’s CEOs regularly includes celebrities, billionaires, big egos, risk takers, and failures. What it does not include are social media experts; but that’s about to change.
Maddie Grant's insight:
"The study reveals that CEOs are changing the nature of work by adding a powerful dose of openness, transparency and employee empowerment to the command-and-control ethos that has characterized the modern corporation for more than a century."

Beyond the CEO, the whole "C-Suite" should be social to interpret and intercept ideas and to innovate for the future success of the business. 
Ted Fickes's curator insight,
May 20, 2:45 PM
I think a CEO - or any c-suite person - can really screw up the "be social" thing but being good at online networks is probably, by now, a basic expectation for most organizations and businesses. More valuable than a good golf game, perhaps. Delete the scoop?

TeamWorks Cleaning is a green cleaning cooperative that was started in 2004 with the goal of creating a "social business" that would provide great service to our customers while creating great opportunities for our staff.
Maddie Grant's insight:
HUMANIZE in action. "TeamWorks was founded in 2004 as a Cleaning Cooperative inspired by the business model of the Mondragon Cooperatives. At TeamWorks, we believe that worker-owned cooperatives could be a practical way to create a socially just and stable economy and, thus, see ourselves as business organization that can help root capital in local communities. At TeamWorks, we are able to provide higher wages and health benefits to our members while creating a working environment that is less stressful and physically demanding than in most other cleaning companies.

Collaborative Economy: Brand Edition | Web Strategy by Jeremiah Owyang | Social Media, Web Marketing
Maddie Grant's insight:
"A few days ago, I announced that I’ll be leading a research effort to understand the impacts of the growing Collaborative Economy trend, I also listed out 200 startups that are in this space (and a few big brands). For those new to this topic, theres an unstoppable trend of people trading, renting, and borrowing all kinds of services and goods. The disruptive impacts to brands are high: consumers can now buy and trade among themselves, often without purchasing things directly from the brands themselves. Corporations who don’t pay attention to this trend, are leaving themselves in a state of risk as technology and society continue to quickly innovate." Delete the scoop?
