KLC PRINCIPLES
Leadership is an activity not position or authority.
Each of us has the opportunity to exercise leadership at any time in any situation.
The activity of leadership starts with a personal intervention.
Exercising leadership is an experimental and improvisatory art. We cannot know if an intervention will work until we try it.
Exercising leadership is inherently risky: Once we intervene we lose significant control over the outcome.
5
KLC Competencies Diagnose Situation: Deliberately working to more deeply and thoroughly
understand a situation before action Managing Self: Exercising civic leadership effectively requires knowing
yourself enough to understand how well you are situated to intervene. This will involve challenging your assumptions about your strengths and weaknesses as well as expanding your repertoire of possible responses.
Intervene Skillfully: Exercising civic leadership starts with a personal intervention. Making conscious choices about whether, when and how you intervene and how to do so most skillfully will help you maximize your chances for making progress.
Energize Others: Exercising civic leadership on adaptive challenges requires engaging others. Engaging others means connecting interests, attending to how people work together (the process) and inspiring them to make progress.

Identify who, what, where, volume & sentiment

engagement
Engage Implementation of the plan, including integration with
other systems, digital properties and business processes
23
Them, Not Us
The best advertising is not us talking about us. It’s other people talking about us. Make conversations about the consumer first.
24
Be Where the Consumers Are
Find your evangelists. Know where your target consumers congregate and converse. Contribute to those communities and conversations first.
25
Show Signs of Life
Integrate and promote social content throughout your online and offline presence.
26
Action Trumps Eyeballs
Aim for engagement, endorsement and evangelism. Design for action and interaction. Think hearts and minds, not just eyeballs.
27
Connect & Collect
Use every appropriate conversation to collect information that will make the relationship more personal and special.
28
Tips & Rules The 1% Rule - a small fraction of site visitors are
responsible for a substantial portion of total site traffic.
The 2-4X Rule - When it comes to conversion, visitors driven to a site by influencers are two to four times more likely to convert compared to visitors from other sources
The New Media / New Pipes Rule - it matters far more what consumers do with your content than what you do with your content. What they say about your brand means more than what you say about your brand.
29
Tips & Rules The Martha Stuart Rule - Throw your own party; don't
just cater someone else's!
The Power of Weak Links Rule - you are far more likely to find your next job through a friend-of-a-friend than through an intimate contact.
The Feed the Fire Rule - Consumers love to share relevant, engaging, useful, and entertaining content with their friends. Make it easy for them to find your content and make it easy for them to share your content.
The More Things Change Rule - e-mail and IM remain popular ways to share content. So don't throw out your old e-mail marketing methods
30
Tips & Rules Horse Before the Cart Rule - if you want to succeed
in social media, your brands and content need to have social attributes -- content worth sharing, brands worth talking about, sites that encourage consumer participation and dialog.
The PR Pitfalls Rule - more than 90% of blog seeding has no material impact. Up to 5% gets some response, but less than 2% of seeding drives valuable traffic. In other words, if you can't track efficacy of these efforts, don't bother.
The Customer Service Rule - Focus on providing useful content and offers to your target audience and they will spread your messages for you.
31
Keep in Mind Audience size doesn’t prove influence on Twitter
Your employees and customers are your most valuable asset. Work with them - not against
Don’t ignore your existing digital properties - website, email
Cross pollinate
