| Summary |
Welcome to the world of the crowd surfer: a world in which a new generation of business and political leaders has learned how to harness the energy, ideas and enthusiasm of today's empowered consumers. The authors explore the lessons we can all learn from corporate and political crowd surfers. They also analyse the leadership skills required in this new era of participation and dialogue and ask what these changes mean for marketers and managers. |
