Your job requires you to influence people just about all of the time. It may take the form of gaining support, inspiring others, persuading other people to become your champions, engaging someone's imagination, and creating relationships. Whatever form it takes, being an excellent influencer makes your job easier.
Successfully lead your colleagues. Lateral leadership means leading "from the side" and therefore not - as in classic management situations - from the top down. This leadership concept is especially valuable when you work in flat hierarchies, particularly in project teams, and have responsibility for outcomes but no supervisory authority.
But as a lateral leader how can you get people excited about the goals you have set engage them and create a productive and appreciative working environment? The secret lies in your own role and attitude. Understanding this proactively shaping your role and keeping the mechanisms of lateral leadership in mind are the first steps to successfully leading your colleagues.

What Can You Do When Customers Complain on Social Media

In the age of social media, ineffective customer communication will directly lead to complaints online. As more online platforms provide dedicated distribution channels for user rights protection, "online customer complaints" have increasingly affected the corporate reputation and then will indirectly or directly affect the business.
At the same time, the accumulation of negative content will also attract the attention of the media and other competitors. That will be the danger of fermenting into a huge public opinion risk. In this lesson, we will be discussing the behavior of customer complaints on social media to provide some ideas and methods for companies.
