Social Media Policies Directory

As detailed in Chapter 5 of “Open Leadership”, companies need to put in place the policies, processes, and procedures that will help you manage openness. Put another way, you have to have a plan on how you will in effect, control openness. This is not a contradiction—in fact, I believe it is a necessity that you structure, explain, and hold openness accountable.

One of the instruments that help do this is a social media policy. Below are two resources that can get you started.

• Social Media Guidelines Checklist. This downloadable PDF or Word document provides a starting point for creating your own social media policy.
• Social Media Policy Directory. A collection of social media policies in a Google Doc.

And if you have a policy that you would like to include in this directory, or would like to share only as background research, please email me at charlene (at) charleneli (dot) com.
