@CelineHe5 I like Greta as an example for this, as she has used her celeb status purely as a means to support her cause. As one of the most well known climate change activists, theres a lot of pressure on her to be a strong leader for the cause, and she does a great job of promoting change
@hazelma0012 Bad Bunny is a great example, as he has a massive platform that he uses to speak on important social justice issues. Many people in his position would stay silent and not jeopradize their money/career, but Bad Bunny uses his platform to speak for those whos voices are silenced
@aidenm310 The Rock is a great example of a celebrity leader, as he has become a massive brand, and as a result, important spokesperson. As one of the most recognizable celebs today, anything he attaches his likeness to gets attention, and he uses that for good purposes like a true leader
LeBron James is an iconic athlete and a leader both on and off the court. He gained fame through basketball and used that fame to help the community. This Forbes article describes some of the biggest leadership lessons to take from LeBron. #LIDC92 https://t.co/BRPZNClm5E
@hazelma0012 I think this is a great example because while social media can be used to create a perfect image of someone, you can come off as far more relatable when you show vulnerability. This is especially important for leaders, as it makes them feel far more human
@CelineHe5 This is the most relevant post yet tackling this question. It's a great example of how social media platforms, like X, are being leveraged in a leadership context. It's a great lesson for anyone trying to extend their reach on socials and connect better with audiences
@mattqtlb I think this is a great example of the intersection between leadership and social media, as Newsom is using social media platforms to make a stand. Previously this would've been done through a press release or conference, and now its a series of social media posts, showing change
This article highlights the evolving role of social media in leadership, including the unique benefits of social media over past channels, which felt very similar to the points Kahai discussed about how leadership is evolving in the digital era #LIDC92

@JSigel40802 Kamala's social influence was definitely felt at times during the previous election, especially in our age demo. She fostered incredible connections with Gen Z and many social groups within the country, which is part of the reason why her social and digital influence is so strong
@mattqtlb Obama was a great choice as a digital leader. He used the great influence that he commanded in order to achieve his goals and create the change that he promised. As a digital presence, his notoriety cannot be understated, as he remains one of the most followed people in the world
@Brandan8822 Tim Tebow is someone who definitely used his fame and leveraged it positively. Even though he is far removed from his athletic career, his impact, as you mentioned, is still being felt regularly, which shows how strong of a leader he really is
#LIDC92 In the HBS article, one of 6 skills leaders need in the digital age was living values with conviction. This tweet is evidence of Obama using that skill as he puts aside political differences to stand for what he believes in, which is ending all violence in our democracy
We donโt yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlieโs family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
