This idea leads me to the question: \u201cHow open and curious am I willing to be when I post and interact using social technology?\u00a0 And how do I maintain the tone that defines my personality.\u00a0 For myself I\u2019ve chosen to strive to be one who inspires.\u00a0 It is my goal when I teach but also when I post.\u00a0 I can feel myself veer from this tone when I become too critical or negative about a topic.\u00a0 And when this happens it is humbling because once it has been shared well, unlike Vegas, what happens on the internet doesn\u2019t stay in one place but immediately floods.\u00a0 How curious do I want to be when sharing topics in social media?\u00a0 There are a lot of things I am curious about but do I put it all online so that my questions are available for anyone?\u00a0 Again, for me to maintain the tone that I desire to express I determine what to share and what to keep private.\u00a0 It is a type of covenant with myself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Do you have a covenant with yourself?\u00a0 Does this affect your \u201ctone?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">What might be some of the best practices in your \u201cSandbox Covenant?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As we build relationships there is certain protocol or etiquette that must be followed.\u00a0 Li shares the following table as an example of this: (Please see this link) <a href=\"https:\/\/getsatisfaction.com\/corp\/customer-pact\/\">https:\/\/getsatisfaction.com\/corp\/customer-pact\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This type of a relationship building covenant can also be used in a variety of interpersonal relationships with the five values in place: 1. Be Human, 2. Be Accessible, 3. Be Authentic, 4. Be Patient, 5. Be Productive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">How might you apply these values to your leadership style?\u00a0 How might it affect those you lead?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">How would you apply these in order to set your \u201ctone\u201d which you communicate in social media?<\/p>\n<p>For my personal \u201ctone\u201d to inspire I must be human but also use wisdom, be accessible but also set priorities, be authentic and draw from my positive thoughts rather than negative ones, be patient and allow lessons in humility as others may not agree with my thoughts, and be productive while also realizing that balance is a necessary component for personal sustainability<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlene Li, in her book \u201cOpen Leadership: How Social Technology Can Transform the Way You Lead,\u201d discusses the necessity for companies and leaders to begin being more open and transparent by using social technology.\u00a0 In addition she also gives specific guidelines regarding how to do this while also maintaining control of what is shared.\u00a0 Basically, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2,220],"class_list":["post-519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-dminlgp","tag-li","post_format-post-format-gallery","cohort-lgp3"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1854,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519\/revisions\/1854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.georgefox.edu\/dlgp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
