February 6, 2012 By Leanne Chase

This article was originally published in last week's TheCR News: When we think of the day to day and the year to year of what community management is, we think of Groundhog Day.  Not the actual event, where a furry creature tells us if winter will last or not...no we mean the movie starring Bill … [Read more...]

Community Management: More Than One Role, a Discipline

January 27, 2012 By Leanne Chase

The Community Roundtable aims to advance the business of community.  I'm going to say that again...we advance the business of community.  I wanted to repeat it because I think it's an important distinction as the way we look at community management.  As Jim Storer has said, everyone is a community … [Read more...]

A Day In the Life of This Community Manager

January 23, 2012 By Hillary Boucher

It's Community Manager Appreciation Day and we sure have a funny way of showing our appreciation for ours...by having her write a blog post.  But we thought detailing what a community manager does day in and day out may help those who work with them to appreciate them all the more.  And she makes it … [Read more...]

Community Manager Burnout

January 19, 2012 By Leanne Chase

When I saw the topic for yesterday's Twitter #cmgrchat, I thought it was a good one to discuss, particularly now.  The holidays just ended where everyone feels stretched in too many directions.  It's January so the business expectations for a New Year are fresh in everyone's mind and people are … [Read more...]

Communities and the Value of Answering Unarticulated Needs

January 6, 2012 By Rachel Happe

We had an excellent member call late last year with John Stepper of Deustche Bank who is working on a training course to help employees manage their reputation inside the organization.

January 4, 2012 By Leanne Chase

Roundtable:  Seating or discussion arrangement in which (usually) all participants are considered peers.
