No, I don't we really have so many other things to pick except starting to build the "speed of trust" as Mr. Covey is talking about. And the most important player in this game is the individual. Arthur,

Thanks for your comment. No, I don’t we really have so many other things to pick except starting to build the “speed of trust” as Mr. Covey is talking about. And the most important player in this game is the individual.

I believe that trait to be able to trust your employees should be worked out by entrepreneurs. Remember, our employees are very important to our business. We have to delegate tasks when business is growing. Do we have other choice Martin? Yes, Martin that is a big, challenging question.

Do you have a special policy what you are allowed to say in the canteen or at the water cooler? Is it not the best way to cover the social media policy under the general communication strategy and guideline for how you communication internally and externally? How about some common sense?! ;) The real question is: How do you trust your employees and colleagues? Do you have a special policy what you are allowed to say in the canteen or at the water cooler?

I have a business writing coach friend, Dr. Julie Miller at Business Writing That Counts (link below in case her site offers any pointers) who has been helping companies create compliance-type policies for email and she's got all the work she can handle!! Social media guidelines would be wise, but I can't imagine many have done it. It would be a great roundup to say here are ten companies that have made their soc media guidelines available....
