Good to hear “listening” come up consistently. It’s critical in collaborating enterprises, and happens all to little in corporatist environments. Great stuff.

‘Two ears, one mouth. Used in that proportion’ That should be a strapline for what is social media.

Great post.

Hi Stephen,

This comes very close to a description I’d like to use to explain to locals here in the post-Communist economies what exactly a “social media guru” does. Thank you + to @audaciousgloop for the breakdown.

When in doubt, fall back to Drucker – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_worker

Works for me but many say “what’s a knowledge worker?” and then I end up in a mess trying to explain it.

@Marc, “Strategies, tools and processes to empower knowledge workers” doesn’t do it for you?

I try explaining what you do to customers but this has much more clarity. Print the short version on your business cards!
