Ok...so the guy trying to get the title is me, but I still think this is a really innovative use of social media. If social media is all about giving the power of the brand and the power of them media back to everyday people, than who is to say that the general public can not give an executive a title. OK so that is y corporate bullshit line. Here is the truth.
I think titles are a joke. People negotiate jobs for less money and a better title. people stay up at night thinking about the effect their title will have on their "career path." Could there be anything sillier than that thought... the words on your business card dictate who you are? Give me a break. Do great work - don't accept status quo - trust you instinct - and you will go anywhere you want to go. Passion for what you do is what really matters and I am going to prove that point. You can give me any title you want to by going to this link and submitting one. Then get your friends to vote for it. Whatever title wins will be on my business card and I will go into meeting and give out my card. I can make it work for me, not against me! Titles are silly. Leaders know how to lead without titles. Innovators know how to innovate without titles. Creatives know how to create without titles. Titles are just a few words strung together to make other people feel good. Think I am full of it? go to this site and try to give me something I can not work with.
