@infotechluvr Because of the magnitude the Marvel movies hold, it is exciting to see Mark Ruffalo shed the light on important issues. Much like the Hulk, Ruffalo is not afraid to be unspoken when it is necessary. Being a leader means to be relentless in ensuring that positive change is made.
@DanielleCMonte It is definitely refreshing to see an A-list actor like DiCaprio to be very environmentally friendly. It is not common for celebrities to care about these kinds of issues. Because of DiCaprio's level of fame, he is able to use his position to inform his large fanbase.
@JadhavSpandana One of the great things that Oprah has done is create the "Oprah Winfrey Network." The television network provides a wide variety of content that primarily targets Black audiences. The media they show is able to amplify the voices present in these communities.
@RUBrianRivas It is safe to say that LeBron is well aware that he is the face of the league, so he most definitely does not take it for granted. Thus, LeBron is able exhibit his leadership qualities beyond the court as well. He is able to raise awareness on important issues such as voting.
Music legend Prince can be understood as not only a fallen icon, but a leader as well. Prince had his own charity "Love 4 One Another" which values retaining and reviving music and arts programs across the nation. He is able to exhibit Philanthropy to amplify his voice. #LIDC90
@Martin_DCIM It is no secret that Musk has become public enemy number one here on Twitter. Musk is well aware of this where he employs the Positional competency through professional involvement. Musk has become very hands-on with Twitter and its operations, which has been quite problematic.
@AbbeySTPRS23 This article reminds me of the discussion post regarding the Champy vs. Kahai debate. Because technology is changing, strong leaders should recognize that their leadership style must change as well. This support Kahai's arugment where technology has proven to continuously evolve.
@JadhavSpandana Trump has continuously showed how his presence on Twitter is dangerous to society. Leaders should seek Trump as a prime example of how not to operate as a leader on Twitter and in general. It is safe to say that Trump's reputation in an online environment has been tarnished.
@sapir_be As a leader it can most definitely be intimidating to utilize Twitter knowing you have so much power with your voice. It can be easy for leaders to fall into the trap of having a power trip. Twitter makes it easy to communicate with each other, specifically with the "@" feature.
Climate activist, Greta Thunberg has released a new book and has already received criticism. Yet, Thunberg exhibits Ruben's Personal leadership competency through self-discipline and self-confidence as she remains focused on her goals. She does not let any hate impact her #LIDC90
@infotechluvr First Lady Michelle Obama has been able to take her title very seriously which has been beneficial for society. Although she is no longer the active First Lady, she is still able to do what is asked of a First Lady: to use their platform to effectively lead and set examples.
@Martin_DCIM What I find most fascinating about Malala and her leadership is her age. I admire how she was able to make history as the youngest person to ever receive the Nobel Peace Prize winner at only 17 years old. She has also shown no signs of stopping which is admirable.
@pujav100 Simon Sinek is able to take advantage of his platform of 977.5K followers and use his voice to spread positive messages. This is a great sight to see because unfortunately, it has become common for dangerous thought leaders to emerge online with massive followings.
@faberCodes Greta is most definitely a leader in today's world because she is truly fearless. Greta's commitment to protecting our environment is quite the relevant issue today. The fact that Greta is our age (20 years) only inspires us more to be the best individual that we could be.
Although Shams Charania is a digital leader in the sports world, he capitalizes off of his platform by shedding light on other important issues beyond sports. Effective leaders are able to recognize the power of their voice and use it to "empower others" (Kruse, 2013). #LIDC90
