Social networking is extremely important in leadership. Networking can assist in being a leader. Networking can allow for many to met new people and learn about other areas in life that may be beneficial to yours. As a professional, if you network, you can meet a number of different people with different skills. Knowing these individuals can help you when you have a need for something that you are not skilled in. A leader needs to know many people with different types of skills as well as when they need to utilize these other skills. A true leader understands when they need to look outside what they know or have, and seek out others who have the knowledge and skills that they as a leaders are lacking.
Social networking can prove to also be an important part of professional gain. Knowing others in the same field as you can assist in growing as a professional and seeking new professional opportunities. Many people say it not what you know but who you know. I say this is true because if you don't know it, then hopefully you know someone who does!!

The Answer is.... Yes you do have to do this....
Your blog is great! You are doing a great job reflecting to the questions and moving through the blog posts. You also did a nice job adding pics and graphics. You made good comments on the need to network and use sites like Linkedin. You made some great connections to the area of leadership. I also enjoyed your reflection on the virtual experience. It was good to get that feedback in the case that we ever do this class again. Keep up the great work!
