I would recommend this book to anybody involved at all stages of creating, implementing, and monitoring Social Media efforts.

I was one of the privileged people to get an Advanced Copy from Charlene Li.

I had listened to the Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies Audio Book and was intrigued by the content and the ideas presented in her previous book. For this reason I started following her on Twitter where I got the opportunity to request an advanced Copy of Open Leadership.

I am half way through

the book and

I have already been able to use her ideas and guidelines to explain to some of my clients who are running social media efforts, how important it is to be an Open company.

Open Leadership also includes guidelines

on various subjects to get any organization off the ground with adequate best practices in approaching Social Media. I think the title fits well with her approach and it differs from other authors writing about the subject. I can say that she follows and executes in what she preaches.
