So there you have it! A huge list indeed, but it will also serve as a guide to which are the best website out there for maintaining your own brilliant leadership profile. I have roughly ordered this list with my favourites at the top – but I guess after having a little browse around these features websites, you’ll soon make your own mind up! Each leadership expert will have their own idea of what functions and features they expect from a profile. For instance, many leadership professionals just want to utilise the ‘contact me’ functions of profiles. They just want them to a serve as an online business card, that others can use to contact them for whatever reason.

Other leadership gurus like to utlize the social networking aspects of such websites. For instance – other users can send other leadership enthuasiasts private messages, invite them to groups, or leave them public wall messages, depending on which website you choose.

Yours Faithfully

These are very difficult times. With the financial and housing markets taking the biggest hit in decades, it was only a matter of time before SMEs and even Blue Chips started to drop like flies. Leading a business through a scenario as touch as this may sound like a worrying prospect. But should you succeed, it will be one of the most rewarding achievements in your life as a manager. Had you ever thought of the downturn like that? I didn’t think so.

Thats why I’d like to use this post to actually blog about the positive benefits that you can receive from being a business leader as your ship tackles the storm we’ve entered in the last few months. There are the 3 main benefits.

1. The opportunity to become a prominent figure in your company.

When things get tough, everybody from the shop floor workers to the Directors love to be able to cling to and rely on anything that is solid and stable. If you can become that stable and reliable business leader, you could quickly increase your popularity within your business. There’s no doubt that employees will remember the next year perhaps more vividly than any year in their career so far. This presents an opportunity for you to make a mark on the company when you know it will be remembered most. Use now to take the time to unleash those ideas you’ve had kicking around in the back of your head. Offer to share a bit of the workload with that team mate you’ve seen turning rather pale lately at their desk. Seize the moment and be remembered for it.

2. Win favours to boost your business leader promotion prospects.

As people are made redundant, or targets become more difficult to meet, you may find that as a manager, your hours start to increase. Soon you’ll envy the shop floor workers who diligently clock in and out on the hour everyday without a care in the world. Its time to simple adjust your expectations and realise these are your new longer hours. When you fortunately get a shorter day than normal, don’t bunk off at the earliest opportunity to feel like ‘the old days’; use this time to help out other people in the office. Be the person who can help people out when they most desperately need it most, and you could come out of this downturn with many favours in your pocket.

3. Wave a cheerful goodbye to the slackers.

To see a brilliant worker being let go is a tragic event that grips the heart of everyone in a company. That’s why you shouldn’t feel guilty about doing a little dance when you see that full-time slacker clearing out his desk. If you’ve noticed it plainly, then the powers that be should have too. Expect to see many of the nuisances in your life edging out of the office, obscured by a large plant pot and an assorted pile of gossip magazines. It’s so much easier being a leader when your workers actually work.

So there you have it. Not all doom and gloom is it? There’s much to be gained as a leader in business. You simply have to fight through the now-common noise of shrieking and wailing to find it.
