Wed, 03 Jan 2007 04:40:07 +0000 http://www.exceler8ion.com/2006/12/27/jobsters-rumors-and-social-media/#comment-16018 [...] Still, on the 1 to 10 Scale of Dysfunction, I’d probably give this boss a 3 or 4, maaaaaaybe a 5. Because he was a good boss. He was just raised in a barn, which isn’t the worst bossly offense in the world. I’d venture to say that blogging about how you’re going to make your company profitable ASAP, come hell or high water, even though your entire staff knows that’s code for “layoffs imminent,” is a worse offense. Call me old school, but I’m a fan of face-to-face delivery when it comes to bad news, or news that bad news is potentially on the way.

Since the high velocity dissemination of internal leaks emails and hearsay can’t be reversed (barring a radical implosion of the internet), will these issues help corporations behave better? Will clearer, more direct (we used to call this “honest”) communiction help companies operate better? Thanks to the blogosphere, maybe honesty will become not only the best policy, but the only policy. Any readers work for Jobster? I wonder how this might change your respective profiles?

Sort of ironic, social media can be the best way to spread good news but maybe preemptively reports bad news as well. Can and obviously has created a very tricky PR situation.

Bravo! As I read his post who cares about profits? the feeds on his blog had no fewer than 17 links to articles and comments on the speculation surrounding Jobster, his business/leadership and current predicaments. We are about to witness a case study in transparency and how authenticity can make or break a CEO. For anyone who adheres to these principles of openness and naked conversation, this is going to be an object lesson from which we all take away something of value.
