Humanize

A practical guide for realizing the true potential of social media-not for marketing, but for leadership.   Knowing the tools of social media is a must for successful marketing these days, but the real promise of social media is the way it can teach us a whole new way of doing business.

Leading organizational consultants Jamie Notter and Maddie Grant help you change your organization, from the culture down to individual behavior, in ways that make it more human-and more effective.
