Why should CEOs use social media? Why not let them speak for themselves? That's exactly what they do in this short presentation.

1. The Social Age
The CEO Perspective

2. “Leaders are being asked to be the
embodiment of the mission statement of their
organisation every single day; to develop –
and simultaneously walk in the shoes of –
their teams with vulnerability and
authenticity; to connect meaningfully and
often, directly with their stakeholders; and to
build value-adding partnerships and
collaborations.”
Jan Owen
CEO, Federation of Young Australians

4. Social Capital

5. “Social media
supports a CEO’s
critical role in being
the face, and in
many instances the
voice, of the
brand.”
Jack Salzwedel
Chairman, CEO &
President,
American Family Mutual
Insurance Company

6. “By 2020, 50% of the workforce will be
millennials, with an expectation for
leaders to be more accessible and
authentic.
Talent can only follow if they’re aware
of and understand a leader’s vision.
Social media is unique in offering tools
for leaders to express their thoughts,
perspectives and beliefs openly and
authentically on a daily basis.”

have a digital breadcrumb trail and can be easily found.”
Phil Jones, Managing Director, Brother UK (@PhilJones40)

8. “I am a vocal, animated
and sometimes foul-
mouthed CEO.”
John Legere, CEO of
T-Mobile USA
