The document discusses using social media to help address leadership and employee engagement issues at a company. It proposes partnering with military transition teams to establish an internship program for active military personnel. This would help fill open management positions with candidates who have leadership experience and training. An evaluation of the program suggests it could improve production, revenue, and personnel goals by providing qualified manager candidates at no cost to the company.
