Having come out of a consumer goods background, I’ve seen many a case of cuts to the advertising budget. Fortunately, in the social media world, massive budgets aren’t required to engage consumers. Yet, in cases where budgets are already small, there’s strategic risk to cutbacks. Most of you have heard the saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater,” or something to that effect.

Guest post from Ted Bagley: All organizations worry about leadership, from the mom and pop community businesses to the giant global entities both domestic and international. Managers tend to govern over process, data, projects and products while leaders tend to utilize human capital to navigate these same areas and participate as part of the process. Good leadership is defined as proper training, rewarding, assisting, coaching and respecting those who “carry the load”.
