Sharing Illustrations from the 2nd Edition of the Social Leadership Handbook

Continuing a theme: i’m drawing new illustrations for the 2nd Edition of the Social Leadership Handbook, against a deadline, so i’m #WorkingOutLoud and sharing these as i go. Forgive me if some of the following are a little out of context, i hope they make sense when embedded in the book! First up, nine illustrations, one for each of the nine Components of Social Leadership. The first is ‘Curation‘, which is where we choose our stance, claim our space, decide where our personal authority will be anchored:

Next up, ‘Storytelling‘, again, we look at three aspects of this Component in more details:

Whilst we are at it, let me share this new illustration from within the ‘Storytelling‘ chapter:

After ‘Storytellng‘, we go into a chapter looking at three aspects of ‘Sharing‘:

From ‘Sharing‘, we move onto the second Dimension, which is all about Engagement. The first component of that is ‘Community‘:

Within that chapter we look at the role you take within your communities, where they are located, and how Social Leaders may need to nurture and grow new communities too. From there, we move into ‘Reputation‘, which is what we build within these communities, if we earn it:

Our reputation is the source of our ‘Authority‘, and we explore three aspects of that authority in this illustration:

This brings us to the final Dimension: Technology. This is not about gadgets and widgets, but rather about what technology enables. Collaboration, co-creation. First we look at ‘Co-Creation‘ itself:

Then into ‘Social Capital‘, which is a key section that i’ve excpanded significantly for this edition:

Then onto the final Component: ‘Collaboration‘, which is what we do effectively, within our communities, when we have high Social Authority.

There you have it, rather disjointed in this context, but the next batch of illustrations for the 2nd Edition. On which note, the manuscript has just landed in my inbox, back from the proofers, so i’d better pick it up and get it ready to go for layout…
