“I hate corporate politics!” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that refrain. My guess is that if you’re in an organization, you too have gotten an earful about the wretched workplace dynamic called corporate politics.

Our knowledge is in constant flux.

Given recent economic and social upheavals, more emphasis than ever is being placed on adaptability, and obtaining the right information at the right time.

We have a natural sense of what confidence looks like in other leaders, and in ourselves. When confidence is high, we look and feel more open. We don’t hold back when making tough calls. We get out in front, and lead.

Confidence is a crucial aspect of how our leadership is perceived – by others and ourselves. When we’re confident, we tend to lead at our best. We appreciate our own skills and capabilities, and others are ready to follow our lead.

Staying current on the latest trends is an important way you add value to your team and organization, but it can be hard to find the time. Even if you only have a few minutes to spare, Twitter can help you stay connected, find out what’s trending, and hear what today’s thought leaders are talking about – all in a bite-sized way.
