In the digital age of talking via tweet, the term social networks now makes people think of Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. However, according to Dr. Larry Miller, president and CEO of Activate Networks, flesh-and-blood social networks are just as critical, if not more important, than those relationships forged in cyberspace.
Speaking Wednesday on the importance of social networks — the organic relationships employees form from working together — Miller said effective leaders at all levels of an organization can learn how to use social networks to lengthen their professional reach and improve their companies.
