It’s changing the way we work, communicate, buy, travel…
According to some media observers, the Internet and social media could well be changing our notions of leadership too.
At a recent discussion forum in Mumbai, Thomas Friedman, globally-know journalist, spoke on a range of topics – from Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption crusade to the Arab Spring. He pointed out that the Egyptian protests didn’t have a single, central leader. It wasn’t like Mahatma Gandhi leading India’s freedom struggle. He wondered if this came because of a generation thriving in the online space.
The Internet and social media give all its users a chance to hear and be heard. You don’t even need to be at a particular physical location to start a movement. Find a worthy cause – post about it, tweet and create virals! The revolution begins!
