"Your staff are living the story you're trying to tell--it makes sense for you to use them to tell it." Yep, makes sense.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The happily employed are loyal to the work they love first, then those they do it with and for, where the culture (and business) flourishes and embraces both, and then they’re loyal to the company brand. Happy work folk are huggers, not walkers, tempered only by their individual endurance and the distance to empowered culture and continuous skill development.

I was recently asked “When was the first time you realized you had a passion for social, technology and collaboration and how did that shape your social business experiences?” Now I am 33 years old and remember a time before Myspace and cell phones but this question really got me thinking about what philosophies, technologies and experiences that today makes up my philosophy on social business. Was it using AIM chat or Yahoo forums or maybe it was when I linked TI80 calculators to share notes. I did love using Napster and P2P programs to share files and information even across dial-up.

Brian Fanzo's insight:
To be a social business it is cultural.
