Social media and the future of leadership 20. November 2009, 14:10

I have started Johtoajatus blog (only in Finnish, pardon me) as a part of my current R&D project which will focus on the social media and the future of leadership in public sector.

In this research – which I will do for Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund – I’m studying and designing new creative uses of social media that would develop and enhance leadership/management practices (and thinking) in public sector.

In the blog, I intend to address emerging questions and challenges as well as present my insights and ideas regarding the topic and its context. I will focus on the following questions:

• What are the effects and benefits of social media in practical level from the leadership/management point of view?
• What are the concrete leadership practices and methods, that can be enhanced by the creative use of digital media environments?
• How social media can be used and designed to 1 ) suit the varying decision-making processes and 2) enhancing practices of external and internal communication?
• What is and what will be the role of social media in the leadership practices in the future?

Please visit the blog – all feedback is more than welcome. Thanks!
