At least not in the short run, and not when the fear is the fear of exposure! Keep at it, though... All our work is sure to pay off in the long run! @Debra, I have yet to find a situation in which facts can be used to overcome emotional resistance.

I've helped hundreds of senior executives develop new networking connections in order to source their next position within the unadvertised, hidden job market. The secondary gain from these new strategic relationships which I initiate through a personal introduction to hiring decision makers is lifetime "career insurance." Although I show them the value of blogging with stats and talk with them about social networking, 99.9% resist entering the blogosphere either as commentators or authors. The universal resistance is the risk of exposing themselves, the potential for criticism and then of course, the lack of time and no commitment to networking as a necessity to promote themselves and establish themselves as an expert.

Write for the first group, reach out to the third, and laugh about the second.

Ford Fri, 15 Oct 2010 17:10:33 +0000 http://jasonseiden.com/?p=5394#comment-8853 I have been very enlightened after reading this post. I agree there is some downfalls to blogging, but often people are going to judge you regardless of your post. If you have ten out eight employees who dont think your truthful about what you blog your still down. That is why it is always good to have a private only- personal page for the enjoyment ofyourself and a business page for employees, customers etc. I have been very enlightened after reading this post.

You don't often hear people discussing the reality of the situation as regards executive blogging. Another interesting issue is ghost writing--as in, "you can't ghostwrite thought leadership." Is this true? I'm not sure yet, but it's a question worth asking... Cheers Great exploration of a touchy subject.
