INSIDE PUBLIC SECTOR LEADERSHIP | ON-LINE MENTORING PROGRAM SAMPLE

MINI ACCELERATOR #2:

SOCIAL MEDIA, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT & ISSUES MANAGEMENT

"There's no question our jobs have become more complex because of social media. . . It's time to get back to the Fundamentals of Issues Management"
Bobbi Plecas, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation at Province of British Columbia

" Government leaders need to bring communications to the table early and fast to discuss issues when they happen. You need to use an EDI (equity, diversity & inclusion) lens in all communications - these days we are speaking to multiple communities within a community and the level of difference is enormous."
Meeta Gandhi, Director of Communications, Diversity & Inclusion. Town of East Gwillimbury, ON

"Craft simple messages that answer questions rather than inspiring debate. Everyone who aspires to be a successful public servant should have a personal social media plan including an up to date LinkedIn profile.
Social media is like surfing – know when to ride the wave. Know when to promote an issue and when to deescalate."
Brian Lambie, Strategic Communications Expert
