@student_109_ Hi Conor, Jane Fonda is a great example of this. She is a celebrity who has always used her platform to promote social causes, activism, and the reformation of outdated societal systems. She is the perfect example of this and encourages individuals to fight for what is right.
@yzhao3020 Hi Kevin, This is a great example of a person or a group of people who are not only celebrities but leaders. Music is often regarded as a universal language and the fact that they are using it to promote unity it a great thing. Music can bring people together.
@hazelma0012 Hi Hazel, Absolutely a great example of someone who is not only a celebrity but also a leader. He uses his fame as a platform to challenge conventions and norms when it comes to gender. This allows people from all backgrounds to be encouraged to continue expressing themselves.
Dolly Parton is known as a famous music celebrity but also a leader for women of all ages, showing them that they can accomplish anything they want. She does so through social platforms that reinforce her brand and allow her quick engagement with fans (Dutta 2010). #LIDC92
@emmaganderson0 This is a great example and it exemplifies how leaders in the digital age are able to disseminate mass amounts of information in bite-sized and relatable ways, in such methods that give countless individuals access to critical info in an accessible way.
@hazelma0012 This is a great point and I completely agree with it. Leaders who show their more relatable and vulnerable sides open themselves up to more critique, something that is actually a strength as it allows for more connection opportunities with their followers.
@CMinhasRU This is a great article and concept to highlight as leaders who make it a point to show greater authenticity often generate higher positive sentiment, more loyal followers, and fans that are willing to defend them. This is a huge aspect of leadership, especially in online spaces.
I find "Does Leadership Change in a Web 2.0 World?" by James A. Champy to be interesting since it favors physical leadership techniques and thought leadership over digital ones in a world that now oftentimes prefers digital leadership. #LIDC92
@hazelma0012 Hi Hazel, I completely agree with the fact that AOC is a digital leader. Her purpose is to help others and she has an extremely active and adamant social media following. These two factors in themselves are indicators of leadership within a digital context.
@aidenm310 Many leaders fight for what's right and great ones oftentimes get involved with charities and helping others. Simon certainly sounds like a leader with a digital presence—especially since he targets the youth!
@emmaganderson0 This is a great example of a leader with a strong digital presence! The fact that she is renowned for her writing shows a great fan base, one of the many indicators of a leader—also since she lifts others up! Many leaders also are advocates and take initiative. Great work!
Love him or hate him, you've got to admit he's the fiercest fighter right now.
He terrifies Trump.
Gavin is not imitating Trump. He is mocking him.
Drop a 💙 to SUPPORT governor Newsom
Gain Newsom has a strong digital presence as a leader; especially in the countless posts wanting him as the cheering him on as a great leader. Every post concerning him has thousands of engaging fans and supporters. See my repost concerning him as proof. He has a fanbase! #LIDC92
