@Julie01692895 Lady Gaga is a great choice for a celebrity! She is world renowned and has a huge fanbase thats super supportive and dedicated to supporting her, which only furthers her reach. Her platform is huge and she uses it for a greater good than just herself which I think is important.

@cristobal_97283 Leonardo DiCaprio's legacy in acting is undeniable. I know very little celebrities but I could point him out from a mile away. I had no idea he had his own foundation, but that just goes to show he totally deserves his platform as a celebrity and activist!

@RoseLiu144645 I think Yao Ming is a great example! It's so important that celebrities with big followings use their platforms to spread awareness for a greater good than themselves. I had no idea that Yao Ming advocated for illegal wildlife trade, but it is very important to spread awareness.

Jennifer Lopez is a celebrity due to her iconic career as a singer, actress, and entrepreneur. From her breakout role in Selena to dominating the charts, she has influenced everything from entertainment to fashion to philanthropy. #LIDC90

@nicolefromrut A consistent social media presence can really enhance a leader’s efficiency and connection with their community. The emphasis on accessibility and relatability aligns well with Kahai's ideas about leadership in a Web 2.0 world, where transparency and open communication are key.

@HLewer93170 I agree that leaders can take advantage of these platforms to boost their own agendas rather than genuinely connect with their audience. Social media can promote positive engagement, but the risk of misuse is always definitely there.

@juliakenney_ Social media not only helps honest dialogue between employees and employers, but also empowers leaders to collect real time feedback, helping employee engagement and productivity! By leveraging these platforms, leaders can overcome communication barriers and be more connected!

[Izzy @plainfrog1253]

This article shows how social media transforms leader-follower dynamics, boosting communication speed, reach, and influence. It aligns with Kahai's view that while relationship-building is key, leaders must adapt to the changing technology. #LIDC90 https://t.co/FL80WJhRAn

@Scar84300 Mark Cuban is a very well known individual and a good example of a leader. Being well known, he uses his platform to reach his broad audience to promote the hustle and inspire others.

[Izzy @plainfrog1253]

@RoseLiu144645 Hey Rose! This is a great example and Tim Cook really is a leader through social media. It's nice to see people really care about important issues and use their platforms the right way to get others to take action too!

[Izzy @plainfrog1253]

@44Jerod44 Bill Gates is a good example, he's a leader and extremely influential individual. His reach is so wide that even if you don't know what he does, you have definitely heard his name before. Bill Gates is a game changer to social media leadership and technology.

[Izzy @plainfrog1253]

@Yasmeenmufleh23 Greta is such a great example of a leader with a strong digital presence! She has so much influence around the globe and within our generation, leadership really is based on her importance of making others think and striving to do better.

[Izzy @plainfrog1253]

In the Forbes article, Kruse defines leadership as using social influence to maximize others efforts toward a goal. Malala uses her platforms with global reach to urge people to take action against the Taliban, to fight for girls education and women’s rights for all. #LIDC90

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Political leaders can match their statements of solidarity by taking specific actions to defend education for Afghan girls, to recognise the Taliban’s crimes against humanity, and to leverage the full weight of the international legal system to stigmatise and penalise the Taliban’s actions.
