Exploratory Study II: e-Mint SNA – Discourse Analysis - Rebecca Role Taking – Communication skills

some of us may not have anything relevant to add and just want to learn

I'll again make a plug for the backbone of any successful community - the members

We build community one person at a time It just means "putting the right person in charge of the right task

and getting out of their way" I don't think our two statements are mutually exclusive some of us don't know how to share with a group It's all okay with me. But I still believe everyone has something to

share ;) Whether they do it or not is another matter... Becs (2% lurker, 98% yacker - that's a welcomed 2% in some circles - heh)

Sometimes, the only way to discover someone's brilliance is to spend time with them one-on-one

* Volunteerism is connected to empathy (Downie, Clark, Clemenston, 2005)

Exploratory Study II: e-Mint SNA – Discourse Analysis - Rebecca Social Network Analysis (SNA) depicts social

relationships (Baroudi, et al., 1986)

Conclusions

The Empathic Leader is true Use the Sensitive Employees – Citizens Build groupz-ware to help and support online

communities based on real time research. The Path of the Dragon: Recognise our

potential and being able to respond (responsible)

Thank you…

For your attention!
