Defining Community in a New Space
As we were moving to a new location several weeks ago, one of our community members, Sandi Di Domenico, initiated a great creative challenge. She asked each member of the Tekara team to take a small painting palette and use it however they like to create an image that illustrates what does "Community" look like for that individual.

Question:
"How does the increasingly blurred line between the face a person shows at work and the persona they create for themselves online (which often ends up being discussed at work) pose new/different challenges for leadership and the organization?"
There are several implications that will continue to become more apparent as social networks and online personal brands continue to play a bigger role in the work-force. There are questions that both employees and employers must ask and consider when dealing with this new dynamic.

Feeling vulnerable, I awaited final comment on my growing edge from Faculty as a Master of Art’s candidate. Heard their response in person. “There’s only one thing to work on,” my faculty advisors told me as I approached my last semester in my Master’s program. “Show your humanness, each person must know your sensitivities, the soft underbelly!” Silently, I gasped. How will this be possible? What’s the value of being exposed? How does humanness help a leader reach her potential? I had little comprehension of the gifts I could receive being in my humanness.
