This Blog discusses Social Media as the new “Sword of Damocles” that hangs above us with the power to enhance or destroy those who use it. Indeed, we assert that the power of Social Media is “double-edged,” and our self-control, humility, common sense, and ability to honestly self-reflective are the “keys” to its power.
The Blog tells the tale of a colleague who misused social media to complain to “Corporate” about a few company employees who were “breaking” innocuous rules that had no personal effect on her or any other customers.
She triggered a social media catastrophe by publicizing her actions, including the piddling amount of compensation she received for her complaints. This triggered an international backlash debilitating her professional sales and reputation, and her personal and “social media” life.
The Blog uses this cautionary tale to discuss how to self-control Social Media, and five take-aways that we all need to learn and teach our children. We share how Public Relations firms moderate public relations catastrophes. And we give a personal example of how to respond when negative comments are posted on a social media.
Read this Blog to put the Sword of Damocles back in its sheath.
