Join Mzinga and the Social Media Club Boston for a Social Nation Tweetup! Food and drink will be served as we toast the release of Social Nation, Barry Libert's new book.

It's time to join Social Nation and prosper! Social Nation tells the stories of companies that have embraced the shift to more open, collaborative business models in substantive ways, forging new paths to workplace collaboration, product development, customer relationship management, brand loyalty, innovation, and profitability.

As a leader and manager, the book outlines how you can build your own social nation by using social technologies more effectively to listen, make yourself heard, and establish enduring relationships with and among employees, customers, and partners. To help you get started, the book includes an assessment to scientifically evaluate your individual social skills and competencies, and illustrates principles and strategies to:

• Integrate social skills into existing managerial and leadership practices
• Overcome some of the common risks and objections that are often cited as obstacles to building a successful social enterprise
• Adopt new forms of social leadership across the entire organization
• Attain social intelligence by listening, understanding, and measuring outcomes of your investment in relationships with customers, employees and partners
• Realize tangible economic benefits and ROI from new product and service offerings

See you there!
