LinkedIn approves me for full article publishing just like the LinkedIn influencers can do.
LinkedIn launched the Influencer program, allowing selected “thought leaders” (their term) to share original content directly with LinkedIn users. Business leaders have been publishing under the LinkedIn influencers program for a while now.
Only the best of the best get in. These include Deepak Chopra, Jack Welch former CEO of GE, Bill Gates founder of Microsoft, Richard Branson the billionaire and founder of the Virgin empire, and more of my favorites below:
Arianna Huffington
NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg
HP CEO Meg Whitman
Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh
journalist Maria Shriver
UK Prime Minister David Cameron
entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban
Dharmesh ShahInfluencer
Founder and CTO at HubSpot
Says influencer Bruce Kasanoff, “The Comments section of Influencer articles has turned out to be the most literate and civil business discussion anywhere online.”
One is Dr. Marla Gottschalk, the industrial and organizational psychologist whose posts on workplace issues and dynamics have influenced my thinking on company culture.
Another is Charles Best, a leading thinker on the intersection of education and philanthropy.
