True test of leadership online - do you have followers?

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Repost from Entrepreneur.com by Lewis Howe |  April 25, 2013

How do you know if you have leadership on line?  If you have visitors and followers.  (So check your twitter if you have followers)  It is interesting to note that some twitters had nary a tweet but have hordes of followers.

Just how do you do it.  Lewis lists five points:

1.   Challenge the status quo like the book by Tim Ferris  - 4 Hour Work Week;  it sold 1.35 million copies because it challenged the status quo mindset -  work hard to succeed;

2.  Over deliver

3.  Be of service to others.  Do not just repost or retweet articles.  Analyze article and explain how the post can be valuable to the reader;

4. Make forecast and predictions.  Be bold.  That is being a leader.

5. Connect offline to your followers/readers/customers
