By Shannon Abram, Relationship Manager at The Community Roundtable. 
With Fall just around the corner things are back in full swing here at TheCR. This week I was lucky enough to attend a great marketing event, Inbound2014, held by Hubspot here in Boston. So many of the sessions I attended were great, but the keynotes in particular were fantastic – and really appealed not just to the marketer me, but also the community manager. One session, led by author Simon Sinek, focused on leadership – and specifically how great leaders create environments where employees can work together to thrive. The folks over at The Draw Shop put together the great graphic on the right which really captures the essence of his talk.
I hope you’ve been enjoying our month of strategy-focused posts and content. We have some exciting things planned for next week including sharing a brand-new SOCM 2014 infographic and more fun stuff!
Enjoy this week’s links from around the web, and of course more new community manager and social business jobs, and we’ll see you back here on Monday!
Meet TheCR Team: Jillian Bejtlich, Community Strategist – Like many community managers out there, I never actually set out to work in this field. By education and the first few rungs of my career ladder, I’m an engineer with a focus on architectural and civil technology. I lived and breathed physics. But after a variety of welcome twists and turns, I ended up in community.
How Do I Convince our Executives to Invest in Community? – Through the State of Community Management 2014 we identified three best practices for getting executives on-board with your community initiatives.
Lessons From the Classroom for Community Managers – At my daughter’s “back to school night,” I had the opportunity to follow her exact sequence of classes, from first period homeroom, through seventh period. A slogan on the board of her homeroom class read, “Our classroom is a community.” Mr. Braxton, her homeroom teacher, introduced himself to the assembled parents and started to speak about community.
The New Habit Challenge: Create a Better To-Do List – Tons of successful leaders laud the to-do list as the key to more organized, productive, and focused days, but is there a right way and a wrong way to do your to-do? The short answer: Yes.
Workplace Redesign: Turning your Environment into a Productivity Machine – Corporate real estate is undergoing a revolution. Companies are tearing down their walls, and the result is that shared spaces like “huddle zones” are crowding out individual workspace – including the corner office, in some cases. Such overhauls tend to yield big cost savings in the form of rent and construction costs. What many companies fail to take into account, however, is that physical space is just one component of today’s workplace. Two other components, namely virtual interactions and management practices, also play critical roles in shaping how people work and how productive they can be.
