Donald Trump was once known for his TV fame on The Apprentice, but today he’s a leading figure in the Republican Party. His celebrity status helped him gain political power, showing how fame can translate into leadership in the public sphere. #LIDC92
#LIDC92 New power leaders thrive by engaging and mobilizing people rather than controlling them. Heimans & Timms (2019) show how communities grow through participation, just like leaders on social media today. https://t.co/ug8urPYPl8
@ellieallamby23 I like how you connected this to the idea of ‘new power.’ Leaders today need to engage instead of just giving orders. Social media makes leadership more about conversations than control.
@AquinoFern77316 Having a strong online presence helps leaders build trust and engagement. Social media lets them connect with their audience in real time. It’s interesting how branding plays a big role in leadership now.
@hurta_elizabeth I agree that social media has changed how leaders connect with people. It makes leadership more personal and interactive. There’s definitely more to learn about how this shift affects decision-making.
@jrhee730 Aisha Tyler uses her fame to talk about important issues, while connecting with people on social media to discuss world problems. Her work inspires others to make a difference.
@lorenzoJ_ Totally agree! Joey Swoll’s positivity and focus on gym etiquette are so inspiring. He shows how staying consistent with kindness can really motivate people and build a better community.
@emma_marku Barack Obama's continued efforts to promote peace and leadership are truly commendable. His ability to use his influence to advocate for important issues like the Israel-Hamas ceasefire demonstrates the lasting impact a leader can have beyond their time in office.
#LIDC92 Reminds me of new power vs old power. Elon Musk is an example of old power, wanting to be in charge while not benefiting the public as a whole. He wants control, to benefit capitalism/greed and overall against the people/what’s fair.
DEI must DIE, only Skills and competence should matter!
"I believe we need to return to a focus on merit. It shouldn't matter whether you're a man or a woman, your race, or your beliefs. What should matter is how skilled you are and how well you do your job."
-Elon Musk
