Unfortunately, personal branding has become a “commoditized” term that has lost its meaning as leaders and employees alike have irresponsibly used social media platforms such as LinkedIn to build their professional network and increase their relevancy. They believe LinkedIn and other social media channels can immediately increase their market value for their personal brands rather than recognizing that the process of developing their personal brands is a much bigger responsibility; it’s a never-ending journey that extends well beyond social media and self-promotion.
Personal branding is about making a full-time commitment to the journey of defining yourself as a leader and how this will shape the manner in which you will serve others by consistently elevating your skill sets, capabilities, and industry know-how.

Managing your personal brand as a leader requires you to be a great role model, mentor, and “a platform” that others can depend upon.
