Chapitre 1 – Pourquoi et comment avoir une bonne opinion de moi Dans ce chapitre, l’auteur nous explique que dans la mesure où vous avez confiance vous, vous inspiré confiance aux autres. Avoir une mauvaise opinion de soi, et, par contrecoup une trop bonne opinion d’autrui est parfois l’indice d’une certaine paresse. Chapitre 2 – Il n’est jamais trop tard

10 Must-Haves for Your Social Media Policy Sharlyn Lauby is the president of Internal Talent Management (ITM) which specializes in employee training and human resources consulting. She authors a blog at hrbartender.com. A few weeks ago, I wrote that your organization should have a social media policy, and one of the things I heard among all the great comments was: "Okay, but what should it say?" There are generally two approaches to social media policy making. Other organizations, meanwhile, feel more comfortable establishing a clear policy from the outset. Whether you're writing your social media policy from the get-go, or letting it develop organically in reaction to situations as they arise, here are 10 things you should definitely consider. 1. All policies need to address what's in it for the reader/user — what should the reader take away after reading the policy?
