LinkedIn- A new connection

I have been on linkedin for more the year now and really like this networking site.

Though social networking is booming like anything but I really find many of them without a purpose.

Facebook , though it is very famous but I dont find it interesting. After all, why should I go every time and then and update what am I doing for play some childish games with people on networks. And more over, why should it be seen by others.. Come on Man, I have my personal life too. So, I have deleted my profile from there.

Orkut.... well it is fine..but I have gone little back foot on that too. I guess it is popular for collegians.

So, I feel there are two clear segments emerging for social networking and new ventures need to really focus on just one of them..you go for both and you will go bust soon.

One segment is clear youth or people with strong need for personal profiling. Hi5, facebook, orkut..all cashing on it

Second is more professional, like linkedIn... which focus on business side of things.. you have these interesting interactive answer sessions, and options to network with people across globe.

One good thing I like is security and layers to avoid people sending spam request..

So, just before I sign off for this note, let me remove one layer and invite people interested to share their views with me on linkedin.

Next rulers in Corporate world!!!

What is the next driving factor for corporate growth.... is it just corporate strategy and organisations who blindly put people after it without taking care about employees interest....
or
Second- innovative corporate strategy which leads the organisation with people along with it and use employees strength areas as the tool.

I feel the latter.. and this is thought is somewhat similar to what I read in one of Tom Peters book Re-Imagine.
Employees and HR is the next big area which can play as game maker or game broker in corporate strategy world. As well and done on boardroom presentations can go to dumps if right execution of keeping employees motivated is not done.

It is a truth that company priority is to maximise shareholder value but this is often assumed that shareholders are only one who are their buying stocks. THe goal then becomes to make them rich.And in this process, the main shareholders or the real executors "the employees" are least cared of.
Past 2 decade might have seen some companies flourishing only through corporate strategy but coming two decade will only favour those organisations which will move priority to make their employees rich and happy only as a logical step to make their shareholders happy.
