People do business with people they know. Traditionally, interactions to meet business contacts or to catch up with connections have been during a meal, event or conference. In the digital age, social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter are individual tools being used to build and sustain a virtual professional network.

Sustainable Leader Relationship Building refers to the community built through the integrated use of social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn and Twitter) and digital meeting technologies like Lunch Club, Zoom and WebEx. Using voice, video, data, and written content, executives must effectively leverage social media platforms for connecting with colleagues, as well as, cultivating relationships, demonstrating your thought leadership and creating trusted relationships in your vibrant online community.

Leaders have to manage teams in a virtual business environment with social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn and Twitter), digital meeting technologies like Lunch Club, Zoom and WebEx, as well as multi-media interactive presentations. A leader in a virtual business environment must have knowledge and techniques to digitize relationship building and build thought leadership.
